Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

750 ml bottle: Pours a dark brown/amber with a massive, foamy cream head. Dark malt based aroma with some fruit and dough aspects. Has a subtle hay note in the background. A bit dry and perfectly carbonated, the malt dominates the flavor. Again, the dark fruit flavors are prominent which helps accentuate the big maltiness throughout. A damn
Cave Aged version. Very, very dark brown. Nice fluffy head retains well. Sweet malty delicious aroma. Some candy gummies and sweedish fish aroma. Very well balanced taste with rich malts and mild hop flavor. Hints of plum and raisins engrained in some mellow boubon oak. Nice smooth almost heavy body but goes down easily.
Hazy burgundy brown, just as the bottle says, with a towering tan head that demands you take time through the pour. Rich toffee, chocolate, banana aroma. Same flavours fill the palate, sweet dates come to mind also. Warming alcoholic finish.
