smhncabot (310), Cabot, Arkansas, USA Aug 14, 2007 second time ive had this. pours cloudy brown with good head that retains for four miniutes. aroma is spicy with banana, toffee, red fruit, ripe dark fruit, chocolate, and some candied sweetness. taste is somewhat spicy with some fruitiness that includes banana, ripe fruit, toffee and chocolate. finish is spicy with some tang and fruit. good stuff and smoother than most american belgians. GonZoBeeR (2156), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada Aug 12, 2007 Aroma:grapefruit and citrus hops,dark fruit.....
Appearance:Clear amber,light head...
Flavor:Dark fruit,alcohol,caramel and nutty flavor.... chimpscampee (556), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Aug 10, 2007 The two salvations named ales to mix well-- impressive complexity and balance. Not acidic or cloying like too many Beligans. Top notch. pnista (1008), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Aug 8, 2007 Updated: Feb 11, 2009Slightly hazed reddish with a healthy greyish white head, thinning to a film quickly. I see flavor in this beer. I certainly smell flavor too. Give chewy sweet Juicy Fruit. A bit of alcohol. A bit of brown sugar and cinnamon. A bit of alcohol. Really pretty clean other than the slightest of touches (it could be my imagination) of DMS. A bit thin in the body for such a big beer, but a bit creamy, not bad. A light clean sweet beer, only burdened by an out of place bit of roast. Again, big juicy fruit character, some alcohol, cinnamon and brown sugar sweetness. This could use a duller sweetness or firmer sort of body. A bit creamy, with a Belgian candy sort of finish for sure. There’s some alcohol that comes on strong in the slightly spicy finish. I could drink this regularly, not bad at all.
Rerate: Wow, the rerate really takes this down a few pegs!Seemed to think it was way too sweet and lacking the complexity I thought it had before. Some toast. Knocked down the aroma 2 and the nose 1, while the over all was 2 lower. Only palate went up. Thus knocking off 1 on overall and 1 on aroma. wilkie (1189), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Aug 1, 2007 Bottle, at the Raleigh Times bar. Amber colored, nice tan head with lacing, and cloudy body. Yeasty aroma, caramel and earthy odors. Flavor is rich--caramel and fruit, yeast, nut. Very delicious! CamdenD (606), Madrid, Spain Jul 29, 2007 This is a very nice-tasting ale. Smoothness emanates from this one, with rounded flavors of nut and rucola. Full-bodied aroma -- the only downside, if one could be mentioned, is the same quality that makes this beer so drinkable -- its smoothness does make this beer a bit unremarkable. bikesandbeers (468), Los Angeles, California, USA Jul 27, 2007 Deathmetal Beerfest, June 2007 Shared with WeeHeaveySD, Bartzilla, and others. deep amber brew with sweet yeasty and floral aromas. Flavor is sweet, candi sugar with a nice spiceness not it, the finish is a bit more sour. Interesting brew, but certianly not the best from either brewery. unclemattie (2370), Georgia, USA Jul 22, 2007 22oz bottle. light amber colored. aroma of chocolate icing. creamy body. sharp bitter finish. nutmeg notes.
