12oz can poured to a pint glass.

A- Dark ruby, clean filtered cherry red. Very thick and creamy, pale oatmeal colored two finger head with great retention.

S- Floral hop aroma with sweet malts and chocolate underneath. Sticky sugar, raisins, and dates are definitely back there. Light chamomile and a herbal tea spiciness.

T- Dark, dried fruit, figs and dark chocolate. Creamy hops on the tongue and warming alcohol in the finsih. Some leather, light spicy citrus (oranges) and rye bread. Nice northwest hops round out the character. None of the tastes are overpowering and the balance is enjoyable. Mild sweet biscuit, hard candy, and plum as it warms.

MF- Drinkable and smooth with a creaminess. Nice body to this beer, warming alcohol that is easily detectable but not overpowering. A bit soapy.

O- Pretty solid beer that offers a palatable dark fruitiness and creamy texture. Dates are a nice addition to the Ninkasi hoppiness. A beer that offers uniqueness but a drinkability that makes it all work. I like what the alcohol brings to the flavors. Definitely worth the try.

12oz can poured into globe. review from notes

This beer was brewed with dates according to the side blurb. The look is a dark amber, smell is malty and slightly spiced. The taste is a big, very flavorful, multi-layered ale. Dark fruit(dates, raisins), malted milk balls, spicy alcohol, and earthy hops.

This may be a great drink to some, but I had a hard time finishing the pack.

This is the Ninkasi brewed version of this beer, 22 ounce bottle.

Pours a bright and clear copper color with a very nice white head. Looks excellent in the glass.

Aromas are of dust, bread, fruits, and cider. Not unpleasant, but a bit underwhelming.

Taste starts out with a light cider flavor, crisp apple, some brewed tea, nuts and baked bread. The beer then settles into some caramel and creamy sweetness, while the finish is crisp, it is also a bit fleeting.

Mouthfeel is smooth and soft, maybe a touch light, but still nice.

Overall, a pretty solid beer. It's well balanced and flavorful enough, but it's certainly subtle, and not going to wow many people. I enjoyed it though.

Poured from a 22 ounce bottle that says "Second Special Release: Allies Win The War!" Brewed and bottled by Ninkasi, but it seems like it's probably the same beer?

A: Light head swims atop a clear maple beer.

S: Sweet fruit, bland malt, not much else. Lightly spicy.

T: Sweet fruit, bland malt, not much else. Lightly spicy....

O: Underwhelming, but not unpleasant. Not recommended.

Got at Tacoma Boys. Clear garnet color with a sudsy cream colored head that recedes to a light froth. Smells of dark fruit, pine resin and has an almost floor cleaner like smell. Just slight not abundant. Dates present in flavor though if not read off label may not have been able to place. Very surprising amount of hops. Decently balanced at same time. Finish is more refreshing than bitter. Quite good with interesting qualities. The fruitiness was done to a very correct amount. More would be too abundant but less would be like too many beers that advertise an ingredient you can't taste.
