| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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.

Sweet malt, brown sugar aroma, opaque brown, tiny tan head. Taste is big, rich candied malt, with brown sugar and a hint of treacle. Medium-full bodied, really well balanced, pleasant mouthfeel. Terrific! kevin62 (267), New Jersey, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 1, 2006 Poured from big bottle. Aroma of slightly burnt bagel. Very nutty, woody flavor, which gives way to the bready, spicy, malty belgian character. Notes of dark, unsweetened chocolate. Entirely too drinkable. Finished just as nicely as the start, even warm.
