Had this beer serveral times mostly provided by jonathonl. It has a nicd bone head on it and the nose is spice, cloves, and raisins. The beer was damn good. Just over hyped due to the difficult of getting this beer.

Bottle thanks to bitbucket. Had it a couple weeks ago with friends. The pour was a darker brown, with two fingures of head. The aroma was nothing special to me, but when I took a sip, it hit me. I simply said wow. The carmel with fruit taste was amazing. It seemed every sip I took, I noticed something different.

Dark brown with frothy off white head. Sweet malt aroma. Complex flavors caramel, cotton candy, Raisins, and buttery hops. I am officially blown away!

This is the most amazing beer on the planet. The smoothness of the beer, the substantial head, and complex flavors made it like nothing else.

Bottle. Poured a nice brownish color with a creamy white head. Aroma is dark fruit, sour cherry, vanilla and some caramel. Taste is lots of sweet malt and dark fruit. very easy to drink with a nice alcohol burn on the way down. Awsome.

Bottle received as an extra from ? Pour is liquid caramel topped by a soft yellowish beige head. The aroma had a complex combination of fruits, brown sugar, moderately sweet caramel/toffee like malts, and vanilla. The flavor is again very complex: malty, sweet, brown sugar, fruity (raisin, others), vanilla, spices, and some alcohol. This seemed to have some oxidation going on, but it was spectacular nonetheless. Medium bodied with good carbonation. I may need to seek out more bottles for a follow up try soon. Rating #1500 for this great beer.
