Flavour of toasted caramel malt, smoke and fruit along with notes of brown sugar and nuts. Quite decent smoky bitter finish. Medium bodied. I really enjoyed this, a little underrated methinks. TomDecapolis (3222), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA

Smaller off with creamy head that left light lacing. Aroma of prunes, raison caramel and light hops. Flavor of dark fruits, some wood, light smoke, caramel, sweet malts...if this had a touch more smoke in the flavor and especially the aroma I would have loved it. Still a good brew though.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 16, 2005 Copper with ruby highlights. Aroma is initially oxidized with some sour and strange fruit cocktail. Taste isnt that bad though, however its thin bodied. Nice warming alcohol sensation though but those damn off flavors. Wish I could put my finger on what it is. hotstuff (3183), Indiana, USA
