Bottled. An unclear red-brown beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of malt and fruit - leaning on being over-ripe, as well as prunes and light notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of fresh fruits and prunes, leading to a dry finish.

Bottled. Clear reddish brown, no head. Sweet with peat and caramel. Clean but with depth. Full bodied and mildly flavourful with chocolate and peat building up to a warming finish.

Draught at the brewpub. Dark ruby, fairly rich head. Strong aroma of toffee and balsamic berries. Sweet and very malty with beautifully soft mouthfeel. Thick with some molasses and plenty of warming alcohol. Strong, salty bitter finish. Incredibly rich, but maybe still too sweet. Probably the best of the four Stormwatchers served at one tray, and this is not a small accomplishment.

100th rater. 2009 bottle. Tasted side by side with the Winterfest’07. No head and a hairlike halo lacing. Color is more reddish than brown. Aroma is astringent barrel and lots of alcohol. Then there is a very thick toasted maltiness. Flavor is thinned out by the barrel and full of cherry-alcohol. Has some cola flavors. very thin and boozy and undercarbonated.

dark brown color, white head, huge dark chocolate , brown sugar, burnt raisins, truffles, dark cherries, brownies, caramel, slight alcohol burn in the nose. Very full bodied rich, lots of dark fruit and brownies, tons of truffles, raisins , very very rich well balanced. Lingering truffles and dark chocholate drowned in brown sugar and molasses. Fucking incredible.

An intensely rich, thick and syrupy brew showing signs of burnt raisins, port, brown sugar, caramel and milk chocolate. The alcohol is definetely noticeable in the finish, but it just shows that even after two years this baby could rest another five, before it needs to wake up. The malt backbone seemed to be somewhat German, which was odd for the style, but it seemed to work.
