| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 25, 2007 Amber/mahogany in colour, lingering light beige coloured head, great retention, excellent lacing. The aroma is of plums, figs, raisins, quite malty, caramel sweetness with some light alcohol. The flavour has some yeast, lots of caramel sweetness, plums, candy, quite chewy, very light alcohol. Bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes a bit hot, sweet. Some noticable alcohol coming thorough at the end, nowhere near the amount of other Avery beers. This one shows some balance, quite enjoyable.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 22, 2007 Dark brownish amber body, big whitish head, malty nose with estery fruits. Too much estery yeastieness in the body; not much hoppiness; not very good; very poorly attenuated. Prune juice? elnadeau (786), Laguna Niguel, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 21, 2007 Nice brown-amber pour, light head lingering, aroma is enticing sweet malt with candi and spice, alcohol wafting up into your sinus cavities. Fruity sweet malty flavors give way to yeasty esters and warming with a bitter finish. Overall this is a hit with me, my kind of Belgian style strong. Very nice. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Really glad to get to try this, thanks to maniac for this one. Medium towards dark amber with red, slight head, some floaties probably from my bad pour. Big spicy nose with a faint roasty note. Thick caramel malt flavor with Belgian spice yeast in the background and a drying bitterness on the finish. Really good. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

dry oak and dark caramel aroma, very creamy melding of the flavors taking off the tart edge seen before, stilll the nice woody character but much more mellow and only a possible hint of any cherry tartness, different beer or from a different barrel
