Bottle. Dark brown with red tints and a off-white head. Aromas are caramel and chocolate with tea and floral notes. Some lemon with roast malts. Flavours are spritzy lemon with chocolate malts. Some berry fruit with pepper. Sweet mollasses initially yet finishes with alcohol and liquorice. Very good.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours dark reddish brown with big beige head. Aromas are powerful- lots of raisin and prune, with molasses and honey. Tons of fruity esters- banana, raspberry, and apricot. Some clove, ginger, and nuttiness in there as well. Flavor is very sweet at first, with lots of dark fruit and brown sugar. Then turns slightly acidic with a sharp sense to it. Palate isn’t completely full- some smooth texture subsiding into some prickly and almost sharp acidity. Finish is quite dry. A decent offering, but nothing fantastic.
