Bottled. A cloudy dark red/brown beer with a big, quick disappearing beige head. The aroma has a good maltiness and notes of caramel, fruits, spices and a light herbal touch fro the hops. The flavour is overall well balanced, not overly sweet and with a moderate acidity. Again some caramel and the spices are well present. Medium body, lively carbonation, long fiinish with almost medium bitterness. The alcohol is well hidden. Surely a good beer.

Bottle from Johns Market Place in PDX--Poured a deep robust chestnut brown body with a minimal off-white head. Nutty, sweet, metallic, slightly cardboardy. I think this beer is a little off, but is still tasty and robust. Not bad.

Bottled(330ml). -Ruby reddish coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, fruity spicy nose. Well balanced fruity spicy and light caramel and alcoholic taste with mild notes of honey, yeast and berries. Very smooth.

Tap. Dark brown with a very nice creamy tan head. Strong fruity aroma, berries overall, and a touch of roasted malt. Very smooth palate, again berries, caramel and a light touch of dark maltiness.
