Bottles on 4/6/12***review on 3/16/2013
12oz bottle poured into snifter.

Appearance-pours a deep dark red brown, with a 1 finger khaki head, some but not much lacing. 3.75

Aroma-plums are all over this, along with rasians, black cherry, and some nice malty tones as well. Hints of toffee and butterscotch. 4.25

Taste-right up front i get dried plums dipped in vanilla yogurt. Then toffee and butterscotch come out to play. Carmel comes in too. Some bitterness in the finish as well as some boozeyness. The sweetness and bitterness is perfectly balanced. 4.5

Feel-full bodied, coats palate very well, alcohol is there but not overwhelming. 4.25

Overall- Perfect warmer for a cold night. Do yourself a favor and drink it over an hours span, you need to sit back and enjoy. Bells is starting to become my one of my favorite breweries out there and if they make more beers of this caliber they will slide right into first. 4.25

12oz bottle packaged 11/14/12. drank up on 5/20/13

Murky brown amber look, small head. Smell is fruity esters, warm alcohol, dark malt. Creamy milk stout feel and sublime taste. It's a meld of bitter coca leaves, dry-yet-juicy plums/grapes, touch of juicy tangerine, and tangy alcohol. You feel like your breath could be ignited after sipping this, and it's "only" 10.5%.

Kills it.
