On tap at Bell's. Chestnut-ruby brown. Lots of toffee and some dark fruit flavor. Slightly sour. Raisin more than cherry. Some slight chocolate in there. Pretty good beer, but nothing crazy.

Pours a Dark chestnut brown color with golden yellowish brown hues and a thin yellowish beige head that quickly dissipates into a thin lasting ring. Minimal lacing.

Leathery malt aroma with hints of caramel, toffee, alcohol and dark fruit.

Soft carbonation with slight oxizidation. With sligt alcohol sweetness/heat, toffee, caramel and dark fruit. This beer has aged nicely with the alcohol being well masked and overall has really mellowed out.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with Styles (thanks!).

Poured a deeper copper color with a small sized off white head. Some floaters. Aromas of wood, dark cherries, caramel and it has a light earthiness to it. Tastes of wood, oranges, caramel, and lighter cherries. Tastes on the softer side (I attribute this to its age).

Amber colored with a quickly dissipating head, no lacing. Caramel and fruity notes in the aroma, and I also seem to get some apple notes, also some slight oxidation. Some oxidation also perceived in the taste, but not in a bad way. A little bit of caramel and some nutty flavors also show up. Less than medium body with light carbonation. This has held up surprisingly well considering it's almost 8 years old. Thanks to hey_kevin for the opportunity.
