Sampled twice (4oz) at Cask Days at Beau's Oktoberfest 2011. Listed as an imperial Altbier, no mention of ABV.

Poured a rusty copper colour with a fairly large (for a 4oz sample) off-white coloured head.

Very fruity aroma--that of raisins or plums and sour red cherry--reminded me of an imperial stout, but without a real coffee or chocolate backing.

Taste was sweet and of deep fruit, with a really boozy punch and and it had a real cough medicine sort of feeling to it and a hint of dark spices.

Pretty easy-drinking but also quite syrupy on the tongue. The aftertaste really lingers.

I like a couple of Cameron's bottled/distributed beers (kinda dislike the others), but I've never tasted something this bold from them before. It's probably too sweet, but I'd try try it again for sure.
