Courtesy of Gillard. Pours clear amber with copper edges and thin tan head. The aroma is full and rich with roast, molasses, apples, raisins, a bit of prunes and a sense of vanilla. The taste has plenty of prunes, sugar stewed raisins and a bit of red apple flowing into roast and molasses. It ends with lingering roast and fading sweetness. It seems to come together nicely into the finish.

Bottle. Short, off-white head, mostly diminishing atop a hazy ruby brown body. The aroma was heavy with candi sugar and dark fruits, plum and fig. Notes of caramel, cherry and a hint of clove and mustiness. The flavor was moderately to heavily sweet and lightly bitter. It finished moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter with some hot alcohol throughout. A vinegary taste floats underneath the sweet, almost cloying, flavor. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Modedrate carbonation. Good, but the flavors do not blend together as well as they do with the best of the Belgian strong ales.

12 ounce bottle shared by CrellMOset. Thanks! Pours a deep red color wioth a medium head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, candi sugar, pear and other fruit notes. Taste is assertive hops, huge malts, including brown sugar and toffee, as well as raisin and other dark fruits. Very sticky texture. Medium bodied.

Golden-brown colour. The aroma is heavy on the molasses and alcohol. Sweet, figgy taste with hints of piloncillo and tobacco. Chocolate and overripe pear in the finish. Not bad.
