| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Very Woody, boozy, oaky, vanilla aroma with notes of coconut and fruits, not very yeasty... Flavor follows suit with the bourbon notes coming through... Surprisingly not overly full bodied, especially in the finish, very nice on the palate, very very very complex, a definite winner... Amazing beer... Cavie (1369), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Clear orange pour. Little head. Smells of sweet fruit and light citrus. Slight bit of grape feeling after the aroma warms a bit. Tastes like a tripel with a bit of harsh taste. Feeling of burning on the way down. Sweet upfront that quickly turns to rough hell.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 7, 2009 On tap at the Gingerman Fort Worth. Light yellow pour. Aroma is spicy with lots of clove. Lots of alcohol in the taste. Banana and pepper too. Harsh spice aftertaste. cking (1019), North Canton, Ohio, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 5, 2009 Medium golden body with a big collapsing white head and thick strands of lacing. Aroma is yeasty with a good earthy quality backed by hints of lemon, flowers and wood. Smoothly blended, rich and filling with a faint trace of alcohol. Starts sweet and finishes with a hearty kiss of whiskey. Fermented fruits with a citrus backdrop followed by light bread and a mild nuttiness. Plenty of Belgian yeast flavors to keep this in check. Wonderful drink, and it was in great form. clingman71 (245), Centerville, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 2, 2009 bready, yeasty, slightly fruity aroma, seems like there is some honey sweetness in there as well. Flavor is bold, jumps on the tongue, there is a sweetness initially, but a tartness and sour apple thing get going mid taste. This is a very unique beer, strange, but very enjoyable. vtafro (469), , New Jersey, USA

Slight sweet, oak , almost wine aroma. Flavor is alcohol heavy, bourbon, oak, and sweet. Would like to see this mellow with some time. grandet (478), Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma is of sweet belgian sugar and some oak. Taste is hige on the alcohol with mild oak and sweetness through out. Not bad but needed more time. drowland (1380), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 21, 2009 750 mL into a pint glass. The aroma is mainly on the abbey side - lots of sweet esters with just a hint of wood and alcohol. The flavor is a good combo - sweet malt, candy sugars, esters, phenolics, and vanilla and wood. A bit of alcohol burn and pretty high carbonation round it out.
