UPDATED: JUL 17, 2024 11.2 bottle at The Winking Lizard in Copley, Ohio. Light aroma of yeast. Clear brown in color and very foamy when poured. Light taste of yeast and candy sugar. Smooth as silk. High octane at 9.2 percent alcohol. Alcohol is well hidden. Malt aftertaste. Lovely beer! Cheers!

UPDATED: JAN 23, 2024 Boozy, heady aroma, fruit, molasses, hints of tobacco. Full flavoured, fig and raisins, lovely boozy finish.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2023 Amalgame de fruits noirs relevant des notes de pruneaux, de raisins secs, dattes ainsi que de la mélasse du chocolat et des accents de sucre de canne dans un olfactif où le malt et les esters dominent. Le liquide est brun moyen, voilé, avec des reflets orangés. La mousse de taille moyenne persiste quand même assez. Ce qui frappe à l’entrée de bouche c’est sa carbonatation extrêmement piquante. Les accents de caramel, mélasse, pruneaux, figues, clou de girofle, poivre et un léger boisé en font une bière d’une complexité remarquable. La carbonatation juste et efficace empêche de ressentir ce produit trop sirupeux. Comme tout ce que produit cette brasserie, cet opus est sans contredit un chef-d'œuvre de brassage.

UPDATED: DEC 14, 2023 Bottle from Cheers Liquor Store, Todmorden. Amber-brown with a thin head. Hiding its strength well it has a richness about it, low in fruitiness, some booziness in aroma and aftertaste. Not overly flavoursome.

UPDATED: JUL 24, 2023 (Bottle) Poured a tawny dark copper. Thick foamy head, slight lacing. Strong aroma of belgian fruity yeast and candy sugar. First taste is rich and creamy, plum pudding and more candy sugar. Then the alcohol presence makes itself felt, warming and heavy. Bitterness is just evident. This beer is good but not great.
