2008 bottle from TheEpeist, thanks! Sark amber color. Plums, raisin and earthy hops in the aroma. Strong alcoholic flavor with grapes, plums, oak and pineapple. Pipe tobacco. Firm beer, malty sweet and with a good complexity.

Bottled (yellow wax = November 2006, Vasa session). Dark amber-brown color, small off-white head. Caramel, citrusy hops, bread and white pepper in the nose, also some fruity notes. Sweetish toffee, caramelly brew with bready and hoppy flavors, Alcohol rises in the finish. A bit liquerish palate. Heavy stuff. Not really very complex, but good sipping beer.

bottle through trade, purple wax. poured an amber in color with some orange highlights and a fluffy off white head that stuck around. aroma has caramel malt, bitterness, light citrus, and some sweet fruit. mouth feel coats well and there is light carbonation. flavor is very smooth for such a big beer. hefty caramel malt, pines, bitterness, and dark fruit. nice sweetness balances this well, and the high alcohol content is nowhere to be found.
