undsioux7 (515), Cologne, Minnesota, USA Nov 16, 2007 Pours light brown with a thin tan head. Lots of sweet malt with raisins, dark fruit,caremel, brown sugar and an alchohol bite. Lots of complexity. A great after dinner "snack" but only in small portions.
TeamTrappist (207), jericho, New York, USA Dec 1, 2008 On tap at the sunswick.Poured a medium brown, Nose is malty and yeasty. Flavor is similar with some sweetness, and a fairly strong hint of alcohol. Finish is sweet and malty. rds (133), USA Nov 29, 2008 What a super brew. Stood up well to the turkey this year. Smooth balance of brown sugar and hops, no indication of the high alcohol content--just real fine full-bodied flavors. Tan head atop a deep amber brew. A fine ale. dwyerpg (2143), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Nov 28, 2008 This has an interesting sour aroma. Great color and head. This has a good flavor-sweet, caramel. This is smooth and doesn’t seem strong. Great. mwelsh13 (231), Maryland, USA Nov 27, 2008 Aroma of chocolate and alcohol. Medium brown pour with an off white head. Some sweet notes, like caramel and toffee. Slight hop bitterness with a very sweet body. Alcohol very present. Some raisins in the taste as well. For 10% it goes down easily. Quevillon (1339), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Nov 19, 2008 Bouteille de 750ml, acheté à City Market (Burlington, Vermont) le 25/9/08. Brune noisette vaseuse, peu de collet. Arome d’orge malté bien épicé, avec des notes d’houblon légèrement amêre et crèmeuse. Goût d’alcool très prèsant, mais bien réchaufant, malte épicé avec une bonne finission licoreuse. Comme une boisson forte, mais sans être à 40% ou plus!
