Jul 27, 2006 Not bad, but not as great as its hype... unfortunately. The pour is pretty wonderful, a deep walnut mahogany with a diminished head and mild lacing. The nose has notes of metal (copper), raisins, caramel, brown sugar and spices. The flavors follow suit accordingly, however, some smoky roasted tobacco bitters follow in the mid and back palates. The finish is almost cigar smoke, and the mouthfeel is full-bodied. This seems to be built upon much effervescence, and it does get better as it warms, but I guess I’m not getting lost in its complexities.

Jul 19, 2006 The 12 ounce bottle poured a hazy reddish brown beverage with a small, thick creamy off-white head that was mostly lasting and it left good lacing on the glass. The aroma displayed an interesting mixture of chocolate, sherry and malt but it is missing the esters typical of Belgian yeast strains. This one had a medium-full body with fizzy carbonation and a dry, astringent texture. The flavor starts off lightly sweet and as it matures on the palate, it takes on more of a light nutty bitterness. The finish is long and leaves a rather harsh alcohol warming in the chest.
