Quite interesting aroma with some nice caramel malt, wine, oak, sweet berries, some subtle roast and smoke, syrup, sugar and a little yeast. Taste is very sweet and big on alcohol, wine, some peat and malts. Some dry hops in the finish, providing some balancing bitterness. A little roast as well. Medium carbonation, big body, long duration.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours very dark with a minor crimson / mahogany hue and a tan sudsy head. The aroma has lots of toffee, brown sugar, doughiness, deep toasted malt, dates, figs, licorice and light alcohol warmth. Medium / thin slick body with light sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with lots of anise and spice along with abv. The taste is not as complex as the aroma was. This could be age affecting it, but I would have thought this one would age well.

UPDATED: SEP 11, 2010 Bottle. Dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma: Sweet licorice. Taste: Licorice allsorts, berries, wine gums, quite sweet. This is great, but I’m sure it’s way too sweet for some people.
