Draft. Poured dark Small head. Very fruity/cinammony (figs?) and such, maybe not quite malty for a DB in my opinion.

Murky maroon colour. No head. Smells like figs and raisins. Some chocolate / cocoa notes as well. Taste is like candy. Some cloves and coriander. Pepper and other spices. 20% carbonation on the mouth swish.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating (some time in 2009 though). Pours slightly hazy reddish brown color with a fairly dense 1-2 finger light khaki head with good retention that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Some slight lacing on the glass. Aromas of plum, fig, date, caramel, molasses, biscuit, toasted malt, nuttiness, light chocolate, clove, and yeast spices. Some nice and well balanced aromas with good strength and complexity. Taste of big prune, fig, caramel, molasses, toasted malt, biscuit, chocolate, nuttiness, clove, and yeast spices. Lingering notes of dark fruit, caramel, molasses, biscuit, chocolate, and light spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Nice flavor balance and complexity; with no cloying sweetness. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a nice creamy and slightly slick mouthfeel. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming after the finish. Very smooth to drink for 7.8%. Overall this is a very excellent brew from Shmaltz. Nice complexity and balance; and very smooth to sip on. I really enjoyed this one.

Draft at ChurchKey. Poured a slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma was dates, sweet notes - light malts. Flavor was touch of sour fruit notes - dates, malts. Alcohol really hidden in this one. Was okay.

Draft. This beer is the color of the track tops of the former Soviet Union under a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of malt and spices. The flavor is sweet malty with some spices to it.

Mahogany color, very dark; the head reduces quickly. Sweet aroma, molasses and figs jam, frankly not stimulating. Sweet flavor, caramel and molasses, with figs and dates; in the final there is more bitterness, not aggressive, from dark caramel. Bold, drinkable, but also cloying; overall it’s not an extremely positive experience; very dubious.

22oz bottle-pours a tan head and amber color. Aroma is date/raisin, sweet medium malt-caramel. Taste is dark malt-burnt/molasses/brown sugar/date/raisin, earthy/spice hops bite, alcohol. Better at cellar temperature.
