Bottled #362. A hazy deep red beer with a thin lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of fresh fruit, cranberries, wood, roasted malt, and over ripe fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of dusty hops, over ripe fruits as well as lighter notes of cranberries, alcohol, and chocolate. There is a slight tartness in the finish. Thanks Shaun for sharing.

Draught at GABF 2008. Black coloured with a medium sized beige head. Sweet and roasted aroma of shisky, berries and vanilla. Sweet and roasted flavour of whisky, vanilla and cranberries. Sweet finish.

(Draught) Pours a murky dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of toasted marshmallow, cranberry, and toffee. Flavor of cranberry, rye bread, molasses, cocoa, and roasted malt with a dry finish from the cranberry.

Bottle, 75cl, from trade with Akevitt. A dark brown beer topped by a dark beige head. Vinous, berryish nose with cocoa and roasted malts. Very smooth, if one can use that word when talking aroma. Slightly roasted flavor, with berries and hints of cocoa, quite vinous, but not much alcohol warming. Full-bodied. Some berry-like sourness finishes the whole thing. A lovely beer! Smooth, vinous and slightly sourish, all very well balanced. 091113

Big thanks to footbalm for answering my call out for this one. 750ml bottle marked on the back ’163’. Poured a dark black color with an averaged sized off white head. There was also a reddish tint to it. Aromas of chocolate, caramel, lighter cranberries, roast, and cherries. Tastes of chocolate, the same light cranberries, vanilla, and roast. Lighter sweet start with a light tart finish. Alcohol content well hidden. A very drinkable and refreshing beer.

UPDATED: AUG 5, 2009 Pours dark brown with a sparse amount od carbonation. Smells of coffee, oaky, cranberries. Tastes of cranberries, oak, dry with a spicy finish.
