Creamy foam reduced slowly, espresso, dark chocolate, raisin, oat cereal nose, rich, backed by lively acidity, slightly hoppy, layered flavors, insanely long complex finish, highly drinkable for the abv. Gonna miss the happy baby on the crib...

Almost no head, murky orange amber, raspberry jam, fruitcake, honey nose, rich rock candy, dried apricot, malty fruit palate, mouth coating, long honeyed finish, drinking like a fine dessert wine, though not as strong raspberry and complex as last bottle.

Mellow, citrus sweet and tart, slightly sour, crisp, clean, interesting, but not liking it enough for a glass to further evaluate, unrated.

Cloudy dark head, explosive yet elegant raspberry fruitcake, dried apricot, orange candy nose, rich palate, fine lift, well balanced of malt ale and raspberry elements, long honeyed raspberry malty finish, aging really helps to bring everything together!

Deep orange, almost amber hue, honeyed dried apricot with touch of fruitcake nose, rich mouthcoating palate of more hop bitterness well buffered by massive fruits, non-stop hop fruited finish, though not as balanced and mind-blowing as last bottle.

"Fresher" and more complex than last bottle, more honeyed nose, hop bitterness really speaks this time, still buried under massive honeyed fruit, 1 minute+ long finish, amazing depth and balance between malt, hoppy fruit and bitterness, outstanding!

No head. My daughter said it looks like apple cider and she's spot on. Intense and focused dried apricot & peach, fruitcake, and honeyed apple, massively rich mouthcoating palate, alcohol speaks but in check, hop driven finish buried by rich fruit.
