Apr 2, 2008 I’m seeing that this beer is either a hit or miss with people. For me it is a miss. I had to dump it.
Dark golden colour with no head at all... no carbonation either. The aroma has alcoholic hints with a strong malt sweetness. Flavour is very unappealing of sweet caramel and sugar and alcoholic hints. Palate is sweet malts and flat.... yeuugh...

Nov 2, 2007 Bought from Brewers retail store.
200ml bottle, 14% a/v
Kind of scared but lets give it a shot..
Pours a strange colour, like a slightly darker version of gingerale. No head to speak of whatsoever. Smells of caramel, malt, brown sugar, and the tang of white wine. Taste is VERY boozy. Very sweet. Tastes like roasted malt, brown sugar, and once again with the white wine aftertaste.. Very unusual. Not very good. Too syrupy, too boozy.. just not that good.

Jun 11, 2007 I’m in the minority on this one, but I liked it a lot. 7 oz nip bottle purchase at Volo. Deep brown beer, no head. Very sweet and slightly oxidized malt aroma. Brown sugar, molasses, rum and raisins. Sweet toast and toffee along with a light maple character as well. The flavour is very sweet showing brown sugar, toasted almonds, marzipan, black pepper, rum and a touch of apricot brandy. Cooling mintiness on the back of the palate. An elegant and complex brew.
