Jan 7, 2009 bottel. [Trade with hopscotch and the Florida Crew, thanks buddy] Large creamy head that mostly lasted. good display of laceworke. light cloudy amber colour. Aroma of prunes, dates, very vinous and almost like good sherry with a solid amount of alcohol. Over the palate came yeat, heavy frute and a solid base of malt. quite full bodied with an average carbonation and thick trxture. Heavy sweet flavour with a hint of bitterness. lingering warming fruity raisins finish. Lovely

Jan 4, 2009 Creamy. Red currant lingers on the tongue, rowan and lingonberries. A bit of smacking with the tongue reveals the usual marzipan. The warmth of the alcohol penetrates the sweetness of the ale.

Jan 3, 2009 11.2. coppery auburn color. pours with a moderate amount of carbonation and a fluffy well formed off white head. rich malty nose. hints of ester and some clove/banana. also notes of toffee and brittle candy stand out as does a tinge of alcohol. hearty body that remains clean. toasty brown sugar is balanced by spicy esters. lots of caramel and hazelnut liquor. it does leave a little bit of thick stickiness on the tongue, but a good beer over all.

Dec 31, 2008 Drank @ l’autre oeil. Slightly hazy copper poor with slim frothy head. Aromas of dates, alcohol, creamy caramel, figs... Strong alcohol presence followed closely by a long lasting sweetness. Thick creamy body. Flavors are slightly overpowered by the alcohol but still present.

Dec 30, 2008 Updated: Jun 2, 2009Beautiful pour into a Chimay glass, soft amber, with a parade of carbonation up to a tight firm white head. Wet juicy cherry aroma, dense jammy raisin too. Forward with dry wood and rough alcohol. Digging past that I get plum and amber honey but the alcohol continues to fiercely coat all sides of the mouth and ruins the experience. My second attempt at the beer and this was no better. Drainpour.

Dec 29, 2008 Bottle. Muddy dark brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is malty and strongly roasted, and the flavour is very rich, spiced, malty and roasted. Overall a pretty good strong beer.

Dec 27, 2008 Bottle. Beautiful amber colour. Sweet aroma. Lots of butter. Alcohol. Tastes like a barley wine, also fruity (apple, banana). Its too sweet for me.
