Flavor is roasted malts, wood, barrel, dried dark fruits, chocolate, red wine twist, coffee, rye and vanilla. Full body, warm and sweet, some alcohol but in good balance. Huge beer, excellent in every aspect.

Sweet, syrupy and slightly roasty with some chocolate banana, cocoa, nutty notes and earthiness. Quite intense.

This did not hold up brilliantly after twelve years. lol

Strange stuff, ample autumnal spicing, toasted malts, tangy berries. Mild booze. Earth. So so. Cheers to Kenny.
