3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 benpickens (361) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - MAR 27, 2011Pours a reddish brown with a creamy head. Cherries, vanilla, oak aromas; it reminds me of Ommegang’s Three Philosopher’s - wonder why? Because it doesn’t have cherries. I guess it’s the figs...

Pours a hazy amber-red with a tan head and lots of lacing. It has a great aroma of plums, apples, and other dark fruit with some bread and a bit of spice like anise and clove. The flavor is dark fruits and some yeast up front followed by a malty, yeasty middle and balanced fruit and spice aftertaste over a surprisingly light/medium body.

I think this is my first beer from this brewery. The pour is a dark, somewhat murky, brown color with a tint of reddish amber in there. On top sits a one-finger tan head that leaves some light lacing. It smells of sweet toffee and caramel, a bit of red plum, licorice, and yeast. Smells a bit like a Barleywine or Old Ale. The taste is initially quite sweet and alcoholic with caramel, figs, and some cherry fruitiness. There’s underlying notes of oak and vanilla bean that smooth it out with a bit of Belgian spice on the back end. Cinnamon comes to mind. Overall it’s a bit messy and the alcohol does not hide well but a passable Belgian Strong.

Smells quite potent. Alcohol overpowers but there are undertones of the fig and oak. Can't really say this one is enjoyable to me. A bit too harsh.

Pours a dark cloudy amber with thick tan head that dissipates quickly. Nice lacing. Sweet,dark, fruity aroma. Tastes of dark fruit/figs. Notes of bread, vanilla, and cinnamon evident. Medium mouthfeel. Alcohol is very present. Overall, this is a nice, warming beer for a chilly night by the fire.
