Feb 6, 2010 250 ml bottle. Drink by June 2011.
Super smooth, fine, tan head, just a sliver. Very dark brown beer. Fruity, hoppy aroma, with pine and citrus. Slightly reminiscent of an American Barley Wine! But is has a Belgian flair, with caramel and chocolate and raisins too. Chewy and rich. Rich, creamy, strong, huge flavor. Caramel, chocolate, hop, alcohol, raisins. Wow. Fresh fruit in there too, plus hops that are almost American. Great balance and complexity. I love it. Seems to marry the Belgian Strong ale with the Barley Wine, and to do so wonderfully.

Jan 31, 2010 One of the more tasty Belgian Strone ale beers. I really loved the taste when I had the opporunity to drink this one at a friends place.

Jan 17, 2010 Dark maroon color with a thick tan head that settles quickly to leave moderate lacing. Aroma of chocolate and burnt espresso. Flavor starts with cocoa and progresses to black coffee, with some light smoke. Nice.

Jan 1, 2010 Murky brown with some sediment. No head on this one. Aroma of cherries, dark malts and sugar. Medium bodied. Not as complex as my favorites (St. Bernardus, Rochefort). Overall a decent Belgian Ale just not the caliber of the afore mentioned.

Dec 30, 2009 12% vol.alc. – re-fermented and bottle-conditioned Rich, dark coloured beer, with a wonderful hoppy, floral nose and well-balanced flavours, making it easy to drink - thats what they say and I can’t disagree. plenty of alcohol warmth after just a few sips.

Dec 28, 2009 330ml Bottle Pours out a hazy brown with plenty of yeast floating around topped with a small sand head. Aroma is great tons of sweetness pitfruit, candy, brown sugar. Taste sweet all around. The brown sugar, pitfruit and light spice make it up. Pretty good I think it hides the 12% pretty well.

Dec 25, 2009 Bottle from the Lake Saucer poured into a Malheur stem glass. This one is significantly darker than the 10. Dark brown; almost muddy pour that lightens towards the edges. Smaller head response than the 10 but holds just the same. Dark fruity malt aroma. Fairly fresh with some amount of sweet caramel. I also smell cologne but I’m not sure if that’s from the beer or from me as I smell so damn good tonight. Solid flavor by far. Taste has some dark Belgian fruit with dry earthy flavors. Feelings of subtle caramel and fading clay malts appear and subsequently fade into the swirling mist. Finish is almost neutral. A bit of heavy soil bitter remains but only in trace amounts. Would this have had a larger fruit profile it would rival the Bernardus.
