May 21, 2009 2005 bottle shared at tasting. Poured dark with red around the edges, tan head. Aroma of is very subtle, with light oak, dark fruit, and spice. Taste is well balanced mix of fruit, malt, oak. Some light chocolate flavors are noticable. Finish is smooth and refreshing. No alcohol is present in this 10%’er. Overall, a very nice brew.

A beer elexir, with all the elements expertly blended in. Sweet, malty, heavy, yet balanced. Coffee, cocoa, spices, malt. Just lovely. Dangerously strong to have on tap!

May 12, 2009 Medium sized tan head with good retention and fair lacing. Hazy, brown with a copper hue. Nose is chock full of rather dark fruits, raisins, plums, notes of caramel and berries, light lumber notes and a hint musty, faint alcohol also. Big in body, oily on the palate with a soft carbonation though a light prickly sensation is noted. Fruity flavors, chocolatey notes, wood, light spices, caramel and a nice earthyness. Lightly sweet, fruity finish, alcohol is well represented in a good way, of course ;) A BIG tastey brew thats well worth the price. Bottle procured @statelineliquors.

May 11, 2009 A huge thanks to tronraner for offering up the beer of the day. Aroma is deep brown sugar with a clinging sweet fruitiness that is amazing. A deep brown pour with a creamy tan head and lace. Dark fruit flavor with molasses and a hint of warmth. Just a bit too foamy for me is all that kept this from going through the roof. thanks again joe!

May 10, 2009 2005 Bottle sample from STLWill (Thanks!) Dark brown pour, medium carbonation and a wonderful plum and spice aroma. Flavor was intense spice, clove, pepper, brown sugar, raisins and plenty of effervesence. Very good beer, I can only hope to try this again sometime.

May 9, 2009 [Bottle] shared by STLWill. Pours a clear deep brown with a large beige head. Aroma is amazingly rich with lots of raisins, tons of brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, and alcohol. Flavor is quite sweet, slightly tart, oaky, raisins and brown sugar, and a touch of alcohol. Phenomenal beer, and one I’ve been looking to try for a while now.
