Bought from BevMo. Pours a ruddy murky red brown color. Little white head dissipates quickly leaving almost no trace. Aromas of dark fruit, plums and raisins. Taste is rather sweet and heavy. A little fruity with some boozy undertones. Very warming and a nice sipper. Lightly carbonated for a nice mouthfeel.

2011 edition
Super hazy super opaque. Medium brown, like a really thick homemade apple cider. Minimal head.
Smells good. some malty sweet, caramel. A little grassy hops somewhere in there, but not rull strong.
Follows suit. There's even some dark prune/plum fruit in there somewhere too. Spicy grassy notes, some alcohol, but not a whole lot. malts, but not as sweet as it smells.
I don't know if it is as good fresh, but at a year plus, it is quite delicious.
