UPDATED: JAN 29, 2005 This beer has a brown/red body - hue apperance and a coarse light brown scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a lot of carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is fruity with a little bit sweet afther tast.

Bottle - big, beautiful aroma of cherries and berries. Quite cloudy and red with a creamy white head. Flavor matches the aroma - many cherries, very fruity and yeasty. A very well hidden 9%. A touch fizzy and soft on the palate. This is a beautiful beer!

Light brown head that diminishes slowly. Red-brown colour. Rich aroma; sweet (raisins), spice and a little bit of "balsamico"? Taste is soft, sweet/malty in a syrupy way. A little chocolate-bitter, slightly dry finish. Yummy.

Somewhat hazy amber, offwhite head. Malty aroma with toffee, chocolate, vanilla, plum and cream. Creamy, milky flavor, vanilla, licorice notes. Quite mild finish and very pleasant.

this one was the second of the 2 bottle beers i had at the windmill brewery. had a deep burgundy brown pour with a tan shitoke head. now mind you this was the last beer at the brewery and my head was swimming with the windmill humm. huge nose of dark fuits raisins, apples, figs and plums... sweet notes of rock candy , brown sugar, honey and vanilla. yeasty texture with bread like freshness and that tin roof rusted thing l. nice mouth feel and not as much alcohol feel as the others. need to try it again to completely appreciate this beer. however, what i remember was very nice.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2005 This is a nice medium bodied strong ale, Nice carmel color and nose is toffee and yeasty. A little extra carbonated when I open it bubbled over. A litte expensive for what it is.

Bottle. Pours a thick orange/brown hazy liquid with a thick foamy yellowish beige head, some sediment at the bottom of the glass. Aroma: great fruitiness with some spices, not very yeasty. Taste: fruit, dried fruit, malt, citrus, some yeast, brown sugar, still not too sweet. Thick, medium fizzy mouthfeel. Really good, well balanced and very drinkable, the 9% ABV is hardly noticeable.
