Bottle: Dark reddish brown color with an off white head. Tons of sediment. Aroma, some spice, light fruits, and some caramel. Flavor, bready some yeasty notes, prunes, a lively carbonation, and some spice. Pretty good, but the crazy amount of sediment was getting to me by the end of the glass, too many chunks.

Jun 30, 2008 750ml. Cloudy brown with miniscule head. Pleasant aroma. Surprisingly sweet initially - honey, toffee, fruit. Finish loses the sweetness a bit but is a smooth full body. Alcohol is totally hidden. Decent.

Jun 24, 2008 Brown with faint tan scum despite vigorous pour. Brown sugar, caramel, light dried pit fruits like apricots and peaches, some spice in the nose. Distinctive taste: honey and molasses, sweet venturing toward cloying, but with slightly acidic back-palate. Very fruity in again peaches and apricots set off against a sweet malty backbone of toffee and aforementioned sugars. Yeast and slight spice in the finish, stale hops and slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Relatively high carbonation remains despite nice creaminess, moderately thick.

Jun 18, 2008 Very tasty, rusty-colored brew with monumental eggshell head. Brown sugar, biscuit, belgian yeast, and dark fruit on the nose. Flavor is caramel, toffee, honey, and raisin. Thick enough but not too much so. A very tasty specimen!!!

Jun 15, 2008 750 bottle in Northfield, MA. Big brown body with massive fast-raging head. Hard to get a sip in. Syrupy and sugary nose. Distinctive sweetbread nose and taste. Oh so creamy - a perfect blend. Taste of dark berries, malt, sugar, caramel. Wasn’t fond of the yeast bits but willing to put up with it considering. Alcohol content quite well subdued. Excellent. (also great to buy this for $6 when it costs +EUR25 in A’dam)
