on draft freakn frog las vegas: poured dark brown caramel hazzy color with a thin tan head that peeped away . raw nose of sweet dark fruit, beef jerkey ( roasted, sweet, mollasses). flavors continue through the palate with a surge of hopiness and raisins. pretty BIG tasting some alcohol backdrops and rock candy spotlight. thick dense beer with complexity. very good however i did not taste all the cherry dippd in caramel , choc etc. maybe next time.

Dec 28, 2008 Bottle. A really good Cru. Not nearly as overwhelming or as tart as Rodenbach. The pour and color are very much like a Quad, but lighter and thinner. Very heavy aroma of dried fruits, cherries, fig and molasses. The mouthfeel is excellent with the right balance of fizz and tartness. I get the chocolate hint on the aftertaste. Excellent. Would by this again.

Dec 27, 2008 A nice Belgian Strong. Aroma was nice. Brown sugar, strong yeast and toffee. Pour was absolutely perfect. Very heavy sediment. So much so I thought something was in the botle when a big clump fell out and splashed. I loves me some sediment. Taste was strong caramel, raisin and molasses with hint s of cherry and dark fruits. Very complex and hides the alcohol well.

Dec 26, 2008 I really in this instance just want to copy and paste the commercial description in my comments.... And yes, there was an abundance of yeast in the pour, but who cares, this beer is amazing... The subtlest touch of tartness makes this absolutely top notch for me...

Dec 25, 2008 unbelievable aroma...tons of fruit...i get cherries and fig. lots of yeast in this one took away from the appearance but the complex flavors (mostly caramel, fig, and chocolate with subtle hoppiness) are worth the motuhful of yeast.
