4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Red clay color with a tan head. Ripe plum aroma with a noticeable yet limited alcohol presence, reminding me of egg nog. The taste was also slightly reminiscent of egg nog, while boasting hints of grape and port wine. Malty, delicious and slightly warming, the only characteristic preventing this from being a classic is the alcohol, which slightly over-steps its bounds.

341mL bottle. Pours a dark brown hazy colour, frothy cream colour small bubble head. Little lacing, small carbonation. Aromas of dark fruit - prunes and cherries, caramel malt molasses Lively dried fruit mouthfeel, really long and lingering. Hints of coriander and marjoram. Most enjoyable with fruit, nuts and cheese, an after dinner treat.

Draft at pizza plant. Brownish red pour with a creamy off white head. Smells like fruit, apples, dark fruit. Tastes caramel, spices, cinnamon, yeast, brown sugar. A little funk in the middle.

Smells dark and like wine almost, with fruity hints. Pours dark reddish brown with a thin white head. Tastes like POG! Passion fruit, oranges and guava. Very fruity, leaves a fizzy feeling long after you swallow.

Pours a dark brown with a lasting, bubbly head. Strong, complex flavours fill the mouth. Slight carbonation dances around the lips and tongue. A strong taste but a great beer!

Wine-like aroma. Smells a little citrusy also. I’m afraid I’m just rating this from the bottle but going from the smell, I’m gonna bet that the color is a darker golden and slightly cloudy look. Smells like it anyway. Wow. tastes. tangier than I thought it would. Little bit of cough syrupy aftertaste. Though still tingling. Very bright but also kinda sour.

Deep dark reddish brown with a light khaki head. Aroma is earthy with sweet prunes and a little raisin. A faint hint of citrus rind as well. Taste is is very sweet and malty with dark fruit standing out. A hint of cinnamon gives a little bite to the otherwise creamy texture. If you are a sweet and creamy fan, you have to try this one. It is a little over the top for me in the sweetness.

750 ml bottle, corked and caged, from Wilbur’s. Deep, dark reddish-brown with a nice, light tan head that dissipates to almost nothing and no lacing. The aroma is fairly sweet with dark fruits, earthy yeast and light caramel malts. Similar flavor with red wine, grassy herbs and toasty malts. Medium body with a chewy feel, crisp carbonation and a dry finish. A complex and tasty sipper, eh?
