Big thanks to Cletus for the bottle! Consumed on Christmas day. Pours a murky dark brown with a head that actually grew in size over time. First it was a little circle of foam in the middle of my glass, then after 10 minutes it was a full head, dark eggshell in color. Aromas of dark fruits, plums, dates, raisins, some yeast and slight alcohol burn. Flavors are spicy, yeasty, dark fruits. Rich. Very long finish. Good, great even, but I need to try this a few more times before Im convinced this is the worlds greatest beer.

100 Baby! Thanks to Bitbucket for trading way back. Was saving for 100. Brownish murky body. Definitely dark fruit notes...along with chocolate. Beautifully carbonated. Brown sugar is there, I can see how people say it has earthy qualities. Not my favorite style, but awesomely made and extremely tastey. Can definitely vouch for the hype.

Bottle thanks to golubj, who has come up huge tonight obviously. Aroma of dark fruit, prunes, toasted earth, licorice, brown sugar, and a bunch of other crap. Flavor was dominated by dark fruits, brown sugar, and earthy, leather type elements. Extremely complex flavor, but I do not know if I actually really am a big fan of the flavors. Something about it was somewat offputting. It was a real pronounced earthy, type leatheriness.

Bottle, thanks to BBG. Burgandy cloudy pour with a film of beige head. Aroma is dark fruit, some toasted earthy sugar, black licorice and pepper. Flavor is very full; some bubblegum sweetness, other dark fruit and dates, and some earthy / peppery yeast in the end.

Bottle thanks to Jamie. Rating #1000!!!!!! Dark chestnut colored pour with a small head. Complex sweetness in the nose with date sugar, dark fruit (prunes) and brown sugar. Nice. The flavor starts with brown sugar but becomes tons of dark fruit like dates (strongest) and prunes. It’s sweet but just enough to make the light residual sugar shine. It is in no way cloying. A touch of yeast in the finish. Mouth feel has plenty of carbonation but it is also oily. Somewhat of a dull and muted yeasty finish which I found distracting but the overall analysis is good. Rating ended. Over and out;-) Love you guys!

Aroma is very citrusy, with sweet notes of caramel and brown sugar. Flavor is very sweet, caramel and brown sugar on the front, immediately followed by belgian candy sugar. Also subtle notes of citrus and yeast. Very carbonated in the mouth, with a smooth character all the way through. Good alcohol warmth. A highly drinkable beer....easy to sip, easy to get carried away with.

Bottle. Huge thanks to MrChopin for this one. Aroma of marzipan and spiced bread. Hugely complex flavors, marzipan, spiced cakes, dark fruits and hoppy finish. Love this, need more.
