"Mad props to bluesandbarbq for sending one of these my way, thanks! Amazing contents inside of the bottle, such a complex and beautiful beer. Mottled brown pour with an amber tint. The initially fizzy tan head soon fades leaving a couple swirls at best and a touch of small lace on the glass. The aroma is a bountiful bouquet of plums, red grapes, cherries and raisins coupled by a strong earthy must. Smooth body with a mild boozy quality. A sipping beer for sure, time must be taken to fully enjoy this treat. A warm lingering sweetness follows in the aftertaste. Full bodied flavors of fermented raisins and plums. Table wine accents lend a wine like quality. Thick, sweet malts with a soft bite. World class."

"Another style added to my library. This one is a clear reddish brown color. The whitish tan head is thin with little hang time. The aroma and the flavor are alcohol and the sweetness of fruit, malt and wheat. It is a full body, creamy-smooth beer that is quite distinct"

[5] Review by bluesandbarbq from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/4/2008 6:51:09 PM)
"Wow. Pours a mahogany brown with a thin tan head and little lacing. Little carbonation. Aromas of sweet ripe dates and figs, sweet malts, and alcohol. Taste is rich and sweet with a slightly creamy maltiness and a rich, ripe fruitiness with a distinct alcohol kick in the end. A wicked type of brew that is very rich."
