If this is good I will buy more for aging. Smell-weak malt, caramel, butrned sugar, plums, cake, honey, nice. Foam-thin, caramel, sweetness, alcohol, bitterness, and more caramel, burned sugar, warmth. Head is medium-sized, brown-white color, fine. Sticks. Appearance- brewer bottle cap, classic label, hazy dark ruby color, seems some sediment in. From - snifter Taste-caramel, bitterness, sweetness, burned sugar, malt, alcohol. Very nice one, I will definitely go back to buy more as the brewery is closing down. Good stuff, rounded up score a bit.

The aromas are caramel malt, dark malt, black patent, roast, and a little barnyard. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, barnyard drops to the back, nice portrayal of bitter, sweet, with the roast toast and cocoa coming out. Great body and carbonation. A little wine in the finish and the barnyard comes out a bit more also.

One of their better beers. The aromas are dark malt, caramel malt, candy sugar, wine and a touch of raisins. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, a little more sweet than bitter, with just right carbonation to balance. Finish is sweet going bitter and slightly boozy.

Bottle, 8.7%. Roasted, citric and fruity aroma. Almost black colour. Seems unclear. Semi-stable light brown head. The flavour is roasted, fruity, vinous, sweetish with a fruity, roasted and jammy finish. Hoppy notes and a late mild coffee aftertaste.

Golden beer, white head. Smells fruity, a little bready. Flavour has some of the same. Banana, bread, a little spice, a dash of white wine. Good body, nicely balanced, veeeery decent.
