May 8, 2008 draft. woah this is an interesting brew. pours black with a one finger brown head. aroma screams out belgian, despite the stout like appearance. fruity yeast flavors - cherry, banana. upon taste, the roasted malts lend some good flavors. has a strong, dry smokey finish. really interesting and bold flavors. i thought the fruit yeast and malt actually made an interesting pair, but the smokey taste wore on me toward the end of the glass. definitely worth a try, but i don’t know if i’d order another anytime soon.

May 7, 2008 Bottle. One of the best belgian style stouts i’ve had. Chocolate, roastiness, yeast, light fruit. Nicely done for the style.

May 7, 2008 Pours a dark brown, not black, color. Head is very foamy, and it stays for a while. Very lager-like malty taste. You can taste the roastiness, not much coffee but a little bit of roasted oat. Lots of fruit flavors, but Banana is the dominant note. Fairly sweet stout - it definitely lives up to its name of being a Belgian Style Stout.

May 7, 2008 Smooth and silky indeed. Great stout, I could keep this in regular rotation during the winter if it wasnt so hard to come across. The oats really thicken the mouthfeel and when combined with the opaque body you would really think you were drinking and imperial stout. Very nice.

May 6, 2008 Dark body with a small tan head. Flavor is bittersweet, hoppy and roasty. It has that distinct Belgian sweetness and yeastiness as well. Finishes smooth. I’m definitely a fan of Foreign Stouts; the combination of Belgian characteristics with big chocolate and coffee roastiness is a winner.

May 6, 2008 On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Pours a pretty dark cola color. Aromas of roasted malts, cocoa, coffee. Light body but nice flavor. Mild bitterness, sweetness in finish. Has a little strange twist probably due to Belgian yeast. Pretty good

May 5, 2008 Draft at brewery, This is a hard beer to categorize, not really a stout but darn close. Roasty fragrance, light brown head, deep brown color. Nice beer, but nothing exceptional.

May 3, 2008 Draft...I was hopeful about this beer. Very dark in color, very much like a brown more so than a stout. Average sweetness. Little head. Carbonation was minimal. Alcohol not really noticeable. One thing I did not like was that it went flat quickly. May try again.
