Bottle: Poured a dark brown with red highlights, head is beige. Sweet fruit and mixed malts fills the nose. Taste is nice malts, dark fruits, and just enough hops to bring the palate senses full circle.

Bottle from craftbeerdesign. Thanks man! Am assuming this is the 2008. The ABV is in agreement with that. Pours a ruby brown. Guess that qualifies as chestnut. Slight beige head. Dark fruit aromas. Near full body with mild carbonation. Lots of fruit flavors. Mostly dark, but I think cherry flies by. Lots of flavor that ends with something like treacle/toffee/caramel. Very good drink.

Bottle, 12oz. It’s a dark, reddish brown beer with a big, diminishing, beige head. There’s alcohol, roasted malts, some malty sourness, and dried fruits in the aroma. Roasted flavor with some chocolate, slightly sourish, and with an alcohol warmth. Medium to full body, warming and dry mouthfeel. The finish has a roasted bitterness and a lasting alcohol warmth. A lovely beer enjoyed with strawberries, but a bit more warm than wished for. 090619

Location: 12 oz bottle from Greens Discount Beverage - Atlanta (Buford Hwy), 5/11/09
Aroma: Interesting aroma, sweet, some dark fruits, banana, nutty, you could really smell the alcohol when I first pored it, but the it mixed more with time.
Appearance: Clearish brown color, almost no head
Flavor: Mostly sweet malts, similar to the nose, better after it's been in the glass for a few minutes then right out of the fridge
Palate: Thinish body with a decent mouthfeel
Overall Impression: I thought this one really improved as I drank it, and I've got a few more left from the pack, so I might have to re-evaluate later, but for now let's say it was decent, but not spectacular

Very dark brown. Burnt popcorn in the aroma. Mild coffee and some chocolate. Not great, but an OK effort.

5point liquor in Athens, GA. Pours brown with beige tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, yeast. Taste, dark fruits, light caramel malts. Thick palate, with many of the Belgian Ale characteristics. Good warming notes of the alcohol.
