solidfunk (20015) - Washington D.C., Washington DC, USA - OCT 31, 2020UPDATED: OCT 31, 2020 Very nicely done. Subtle and excellent. Florals and tobacco. Dark plum. Maroon pour with good head and lacing. Nice balance. Great stuff. Took a while of wanting before I had a taste but this is good. Light sweet finish. Bottle.
andrewje41 (7595) - Monroe, Washington, USA - SEP 7, 2019UPDATED: SEP 7, 2019 22 oz bottle poured. Thanks, Wyatt! Alaska beer night! A treat to try such a praised belgain strong from these guys. A dense, jet black pour, moderate tan foam head. Aroma is more modest than expected, dark fruit, raisin/plum, soft spices. Flavor has plenty of the same dark fruit, paired with spices, and just a hint of chocolate. Lingering plum and raisin spice that sticks around forever in the palate. Smooth enough for a strong. Well put together, and wonderfully complex. Love it.
DandyWolfFloyd (1839) - Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 8, 2018This is a very fine BSA. Cinnamon, spice, cocoa, and Belgian yeast. Come together in a complex empassioned way. Nice.
MaBeer1972 (2410) - Reno, Nevada, USA - MAR 1, 2018Bottle from Ben's. Poured into a snifter. A deep ruby brown with huge light tan head. Earthy-spice aromas and flavors with notes of brown sugar and plums. On the sweet side but not too much so.
koleminer20 (4594) - Wayne, Michigan, USA - FEB 28, 2018From notes. Had this one at a get together at Erik’s house for the AFC/NFC Championship games on January 21. 22 oz bottle. The pour is a nice darker garnet tinted brown color with a thick light tan head that slowly falls down to a dense cap with a couple spots of lace. The aroma is pretty good. There is a strong Belgian yeast right up front with a darker fruitiness and a bit of sweet malt happening. This one is intense. There is a bit of oxidation on the front of the nose, and it does come off a little cardboard-y. The flavor is much of the same. The fruits are light and sweet with a nice yeastiness and a strong bit of sweet malt after that. The oxidation exists here as well. The mouth feel is medium bodied and softly carbonated with a sweet fruitiness and a pretty good yeasty finish. Not too shabby. 7 4 7 4 15

dwyerpg (10809) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - OCT 4, 2017Too sweet. Much prefer a tripel. The beer is. Not bad, but the sugar is just too much.
IrishBoy (4707) - Bakersfield, California, USA - JUL 4, 2017Bomber from Alaska Liquor Store, Skagway. Nose is candi sugar, black raisins, and a hint of banana ester. Clear dark brown with a medium, lightly lacing, tan head. Flavor is moderately sweet with a white peppery note, dark fruit, and hints of cloves and char. Very nice.
