Jan 20, 2005 For the style, I can’t imagine what they could have done to improve it. Port, currants, raisins, a little cognac and good hefty body. The PERFECT January sipper.
Well, there you go, a perfect score. If they put it on cask, I’ll wet myself, then give it a 6...in that order.

Jan 23, 2005 This was great, I mean really good. Awesome sweet taste filled with chocolate and toffee. It looks awesome with a terrific head. An inviting aroma begs you to drink this one. I wouldn’t mind a growler’s worth to sip here at home on the cold january nights.

Jan 23, 2005 Caramel, candy, gritty roasty chocolate, and dark dark bagpipe-blowing goodness. I thought this tasted like good candy, and thus have difficulty being objective about it as a beer. I want to give it a five, but I feel that my sweet tooth is taking over. I want to pour this on my cereal, and lick it out of my fiancee’s belly button. I like it.
From growler at Wawood’s tasting (though I will adjust this rating if I find the tap to be wildly different).

Jan 20, 2007 A bullwinklian thanks to footbalm for this beer. It’s malty, sweet, and it has almost an essence of strawberries to it. It was great. I really liked it. (hint if you want PP or lost abbey, this beer is trade bait).

Jan 27, 2007 Tap @ BP. Best beer of the lot. An excellent wee heavy. So nice I ordered a pint and a growler. Smooth, malty body w/ nice alcohol bite.
