Love the label, simple and unique, lets the beer speak for itself. This beer poured into the glass a mahogony wood/gold/ruby color that was somewhat cloudy in the first pour to opaque in the last pour. The head was creamy and beige in color and texture. It was a head that when first poured was there, but quickly deminished into nothing just a rim on the edges of the glass. There was lace noticable, some parts were sparce and hardly there, but other parts seemed to leave a sticky residue/lace behind. The aromas that came from the glass were big - caramel, sweet malts, fruits (2 kinds - dark and fresh), wood and of course alcohol. The tastes were just as good and big - sweet malts, fruit soaked in alcohol (plums and raisins), floral hops, alcohol, roasted malts, and apples. A smooth and creamy beer that sneaks up on you. It starts off sweet then hits you with complex flavors and heats you up with the flame from the alcohol. It leaves a slight dry hop aftertaste but is shared with a sweetness to leave you with a well balanced feeling on your tongue. Again a nice and complex beer that surprised me. I have had good beers from this brewery and I can say atleast 1 great one....so far.
