750mL bottle from 2009 or 2010. Aroma had a lot of caramel and toffee character with moderate burnt toast notes. Lighter roast, chocolate and nut character. Medium notes of raisin, fig and prune. Light alcohol note. Pours a fairly dark brown with some ruby highlights and burnt amber hues. Medium thick, half inch tall, tan head that shoes slightly above average retention. Light lacing and medium sized legs. Flavor has a light tartness to it. Medium strong caramel and toffee notes with some burnt toast and lighter roast character. Moderate bitterness and medium low alcohol spice. Some moderate raisin, fig and prune notes. Light phenolic spice. As it warms the chocolate becomes more pronounced. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall the beer is alright, but also not amazing. Lots of malt character with some complimentary fruit notes. The tartness was unexpected and not a good addition.

Location: 750 ml bottle from Central Market, 1/8/14, Batch # LB-007, 2/21/2012
Aroma: The nose is dark fruit and a little malty, with some toffee and some spice
Appearance: It pours a dark reddish color with a small beige sheet of head and streaky lace
Flavor: The taste is rather sweet, lots of toffee malts and fruity flavors coming through
Palate: The body leans full, fairly sticky on the mouth, with a smooth finish
Overall Impression: I actually found this one to be pretty interesting. It isn't as complex or well developed as some of the better examples of the style, and it is a little too sweet, but it is still a tasty beer.

Bottle from Julie who got it at Spec’s in San Antonio. Pours dark ruddy amber with a tan head. Aroma of dark fruits and spices. Med body, or better. Flavor is very spicy, with darker fruits and somewhat roasted malt. Not a trace of heat. Not getting much fruity ester, but this beast is strong in flavor - so it may be eclipsed. Quite nice to drink in the evening!

Bottle (batch LB-006 from 7/14/11). Pours with a murky red to brown hued body with a foamy tan head. Aromas are estery, sweet, toffee and boozy. Lots of fusel and dark fruits. Flavors are exaggerated fig and date esters, plastic, blatant fusel and raisinated. Medium to full body and violently warming. By itself, not great, went decently well with some home made sauerbraten.

Sample at the Jackie O’s Bottle Sale on 08/27/2011. Murky amber-brown pour with a thin light beige head that recedes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruits, vanilla and bready malt. Medium to full body with flavors of sweet malt, figs, fruit and yeast. The finish is fruity with a mildly tart aftertaste. Decent overall.
