Bottle, total wine. brown color with a whitish head. Aroma is fruity and malty...seems like it might be sweet. And it is a bit sweet. I get some good fruity notes and some wood too. Not bad at all.

Excelente cerveja. Tem uma linda cor castanho avermelhado, aromas de cacau e café, também presentes no paladar. Corpo longo. Encorpada. No final é possível notar o sabor de licor de cacau, mas não muito forte.

Red-brown colour, medium off-white head. Aroma is malty and fruity. Flavour has dark malts, dried fruits and spices. Smooth and bitter finish. Strange beer, but nice.

What else can I say but wow. Very nice beer pours a dark red with hint of brown. Nice off white head. Nose of light malt, some fruit. Flavors were great, matly bit of hops very smooth palate. Can tell this brew has taken years to perfect.

12 oz bottle at the Moon and Sixpence in Portland. Red-Brown pour with minimal head. Smells of vinegar, plum and spices. Very spicy flavor that really hits the right spots. Interesting brew that I wish was a little cheaper so I could get a better feel for it.

Pours a very dark ruby red with a small head that moves to the edge of the glass pretty quickly. The nose is sweet, dried dark fruits with a hint of spice. Flavor is of dried fruits, raisins,a touch of oak, some smoke in the finish. Light carbination gives it a very nice feel, rich but slightly bubbly. Interesting beer.

Pours a beautiful dark brown with mahogany highlights and a surprisingly almost whitish head which does not last too long. Nose: sweet malt with some vinous and heather like notes Taste: Tangy vinous dark fruits and heater like almost comes across like soy sauce and dr pepper combined finishing with a lovely touch of smoke and Hop bitterness and flavor in the background coming across slightly spicy. As the beer warms up some raisin like flavors show up with chalky notes as well Mouthfeel for the alcohol and malt richness still finishes nice and light with a long lingering raisiny and smoky finish Overall: Still a classic so much complexity with a such a simple grain bill. The magical smokiness is wonderful a great beer to warm up to on a blustery fall evening

A cloudy brown pour. Sweet malt, does smell a bit like malt vinegar. Tastes is not so much, but malt and sweet malt. Some raisin, woodiness. A bit thin throughout. I guess I was expecting a little bit more of an old ale, so I was a little dissappointed. Not bad, but for 6 bucks, I could have found something better.
