Bottle from Slow Beer, Fitzroy, Melbourne. Poured a clear chestnut brown colour with a short-lived frothy off white head. The aroma is light toffee caramel malt, nutty, woody hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter, with a smooth, rich malty, sweet caramel, light resin, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Bottle. Vaguely murky caramel, no head to speak of - fairly ugly beer. Nose has roasty, chocolatey and caramel malts and some pine. Not obviously going to be sweet. Quite syrupy texture. Raisins, prunes and red berries. Brief spicy and chewy finish. Hides its alcohol quite well. Just enough yeastiness to keep it from being sickly. I’m not convinced that I like this style much, but I like this pretty well.

Dark ruby pour, slightly haze, nice 1 inch head that slowly fades leaving lots of lacing.Aroma is of heavy brown sugar, golden syrup, banana bread, toasty malt, walnuts and hints of alcohol.Flavours include more muscovado sugar, hints of rum and dark fruit, plum mostly.Alcoholic heat can definitely be felt on palate. Nice creamy body though.

Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy brown orange with no head. Complex aroma of raisins, malt maybe coffee and tobacco. Full bodied with plenty of fine carbonation giving a creamy / fluffy feel rather than fizzy. The flavour starts with a refreshing fruity foretaste developing a malty sweetness that rapidly becomes a rich complex mix dominated by raisins (Tokay as Stew41 suggested) with some bunt / bitter (dark chocolate?) flavours and plenty more. Overall a very good beer but not quite balanced - a little too raisiny and the burnt bitter notes are a little strong.
