Tap. Brown color with small tan ring. Aroma is tobacco, oak sugar, molasses, raisins. Taste is raisins, lots of oak sugar, brandy burn. Medium carbonation. Quite sweet, a bit too unbalanced. Not excellent.

Bottle from Derek. Big on the pit fruit, figs, dark, English pudding. Smells like fruit cake. Gets better as it warms.

Bottle from a trade. Many thanks ruddick! Dark brown/black colour, brown foam. Sweet fruity (notes of berries, figs and plums), spicy (cinamon, cloves) and chocolaty sweetness. Strange beer but not bad.

Bottle. Pours muddy brown with light brown head. Nose/taste of molasses, cinnamon, maple, caramel, figs, dark fruits, brandy barrel and oak. Nice complexity with the cinnamon not overpowering the palate but mixing well with the other flavors. The brandy barrel aging also works well with some distinct brandy notes in the finish. Medium body.
