Pours deep murky brown color with a quickly descending lace leaving head. Winy aroma with some fruit maybe banana. I think there is a little bit more carbonation in here than I would have liked. Pretty thick though anyway. Roasty aftertaste... winy and yeasty. Pertty fruity, can’t really pick out specifics.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours hazy brown with two finger head. Nose of plum, figs, molasses, some spicy yeast, and caramel. Flavors are quite sweet- lots of plum and raisin with some spice and brown sugar sweetness. Palate is medium bodied with a semi-dry finish. Came up a little short in my book, but tasty just the same.

Jul 20, 2008 bottle. Pours a dark, opaque brown, big chunky off white head that sticks around throughout. Aromas of raisins, black currants, and a cloyingly sweet maltiness. Flavors blend very well... starts with a light touch of floral bitterness, heavy raisin and fig flavors, and some yeast notes. Very even on the palate, a decent amount of active carbonation, and a nice, smooth clean finish. Very good brew.

Jul 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown. light two finger tight foamy head. Aroma is of pizza dough with a bit of earthy dark fruits. The flavor is even better, dark fruits, spices, a bit of a bread flavor, caramel, and malt. Medium body, has a good smooth feel. Overall this is a very good beer. Not as heavy as many, and more balanced flavor.
