Poured from the bottle into a glass.

Black liquid.

Dark khaki head; decent lace.

Oak, dark chocolate, plum & bourbon nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Dark fruit; hints of chocolate; huge oak finish. The over-hopped nature of the Alpha Klaus is gone. Stunning. Brewed in 2011, bottled 2012; drank 2013.

Pours a brown which allows some light to pass through along with a thin skim that lasts.

Blend of dark fruit and big barrel on the nose...really reaches out of the glass.

Sweet malt and light roast on the front moves to a healthy plum presence along the middle..both skin and fruit. The end is a lightly tannic but healthy bourbon fade.

Lighter bodied, porterly appropriate, and easy to sip.

An interesting beer, a fun try, but may verge on too sweet with the plum presence for some.

750ml generously shared by Marco.

A. Pours black with brownish hues and a small light tan head.

S. Slightly tart plum, cocoa, tannic vanilla, molasses.

T. Dark fruit, lightly smoky roast, chocolate, brown sugar, toffee, a little vinous, mild oak.

M. Thick-bodied with medium carbonation.

O. I wasn't expecting the plum to come through at all but I was pleasantly surprised at its presence here. The barrel character is there but not overpowering. Pretty nice.
