smells like poor - May 28, 2012Brown/amber, tan head that quickly dissipates, no lacing
Raisins, malt, brown sugar, candy-like aroma that can't be placed
Raisins, spice, sugar, malt, very slight alcohol warmth
Thin body, moderate carbonation
Easy drinking, but very odd for a bsda


bobbyhickory - May 28, 2012Decent aroma. Definitely strong flavor. Tastes like its about 20% alcohol. Not smooth at all. It has an awful aftertaste that lasts for minutes after you take a sip. Hopefully it goes away soon. This is not my style. If you want something strong and heavy, I'd go with the Dogfish Palo Santo Marron over this any day.








romanbrew - May 4, 2012Subtle grape flavor aftertaste.
Nice aroma; couldn't imagine having more than one of these.
Sweet.


roc_rktec - May 3, 2012Sweet, robust, crisp finish with definitive raisin overtone. Not as full bodied as a good stout, but then again, that is not what it's supposed to be.
