A dark brown ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet plums and molasses, candy sugar, with a bit of maple. In mouth, a smooth sweet burned malt with candy sugar, stewed plums and smooth treacle and molasses, warming alcohol, very nice. On tap at Breukelen Bier Merchant, July 1, 2012.

Bottle: Poured a thick black brown with a huge tan creamy colored head. Aroma is dark fruits and sweet malts. Taste is slight roasted caramel malt with sweet front and sticky fruit, there is also some evergreen like hop character.

Deep dark brown coloured body, almost black aside from the bottom - which is nice and brown. Good two centimetre tall light brown head that fades to about 1cm after a few seconds. Aroma of alcohol, grapes, raisins, toasted malt, nuts, alcohol and way more grape scents - strong and very nice. Medium to Full-bodied; Sweet prune, plum, raisin and grape flavours at first with a good malt balance, some nuts and a bit of bitter flavours followed by a strong and pungent deep alcohol burn. Aftertaste shows a lot of character with a ton of sweetness, malt, yeast, nuts, earth and a ton of deep pitted fruits. Overall, a nice and complex beer that shows a lot of fruit, alcohol, malt and some pleasant yeast. Definitely nice to try if you can find it and keep it for a while to mellow out the flavours a bit. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from The Olive Tree Marketplace in San Diego, California on 08-February-2011 for US$6.99 sampled at home in Upstate New York on 20-April-2012.

Draft at the source. Black, scant white edge head. Aroma of brandied coffee and dark cocoa. Taste is smooth and boozy chocolate and espresso. Very nice.

Bottle thanks to a generous California trader whose name escapes my memory. Pours a hazy deep brown with a grayish brown head that remains throughout the beer. Aroma is full of dark grains and dark fruits with a nice yeast note and a bit of toffee. Flavor starts with toffee and dark grains with a nice growing dark fruit note.

Opaque black beer. Foamy tan head which tastes of toffee and molasses. Soft palate. Dark malt with undertones of burnt caramel. Something spicy going on - ginger? Semi dry and semi bitter finish. Tasty beer!

Hazy dark red-brown beer. Creamy off white head. Light airy soft palate. Creamy malt, tastes like a wine barrel beer - with a mellow red wine flavour in the creamy mid. Finishes soft and dry with just a dash of spice. Nice beer that drinks well below 11.5%

22 oz. bottle, pours dark brown with a sizable beige head. Aroma of yeast, dark fruits, caramel malts and burnt sugar. Flavour is quite complex, with elements of burnt sugar and dark fruits up front, with a yeasty and caramely finish. Medium-thick body, with a great complexity. Really well-made.
