Feb 4, 2008 bottle poured at 1/28 Houston Tasting. Pours a cloudy, copper-brown color with a tan head. Smell was of dark fruit. Taste was of a Belgian - plums, sweet raisins, a bit earthy. Mouthfeel had alcohol noticeable. This was not bad, but not complex enough.

Feb 1, 2008 Orange/red mahogany with a nice, golden head. The aroma has sweetness, yeast, dark fruits, malt and caramel, and I find the same notes in the flavour. It has a nice body and balance, and the finish has a light and slightly dry bitterness.

Jan 31, 2008 Poured at the 1/28 Houston tasting. Dingy brown pour with good tan head and nice lacing. Rich vegetable nose...eggplant and celery...mixed with raisins. Flavor has a candied sweetness along with an odd corn and raisin flavor, almost like Raisin Bran. Rather thin and oily, with some heat.

Jan 31, 2008 750 ml bottle shared by Zinister, 5th bottle sampled at the 1/28 Houston tasting. Pour is brownish-orange with a one inch off-white head. Aroma of vegetables (celery, carrots) dark raisins, some candy sugar sweetness. Taste is raisin-molasses, some of the candy sweetness, which lingers a bit too long. Mouth coating, despite a fairly thin body. Interesting, but not extraordinary. Thanks for sharing Mike.

Jan 17, 2008 Dark brown pour with a half-inch off-white head. Earthy, yeasty aroma of malt, raisins, biscuits. Flavor is dark malt with a heavy dose of yeast. Saaz hops are an interesting touch, imparting a sour coppery note to the nose and the flavor. Sweetnes up front with a sugary finish. Very nice.

Jan 11, 2008 Bottle from trade with Quake1028. Thanks John! Pours a nice mahogany color with a huge rocky tan head. Aroma of malts, raisins, caramel and spices. Taste is moderately sweet, rather malty with a hint of caramel. Has a bit of a fruity flavor in the finish. I thought this was a nice tasty brew.
