Now this is why I love the craft brew scene. Both of these ales are great seperately, but put them together and something magical happens.
Pours nice and murky. Has the dark fruits and spices that you would expect from a Belgian interpretation, but there’s something different about it that’s just hard to put my finger on. Nice flavor that stays in your mouth for quite awhile.

Sep 5, 2008 Bottled in February 2008. Batch #2 - 1.076 O.G. and 8.72% ABV. Brown bodied with a small tan head. Aroma of slightly tart fruit, Belgian yeast, dusty cocoa, dark fruits, and sweet malts. Taste is more sweet malts, touches of caramel, cherries, lightly tart fruit, Belgian yeast and more cocoa. Palate is very soft and creamy. Medium overall with a dense carbonation. Finishes with more dark fruits, mainly cherry and raisin, caramel, sweet malts, and yeast notes. More powdery cocoa here as well. Rather tasty!

Aug 30, 2008 22 fl oz bottle. Pours almost clear golden orange with a lacing tan head. Aroma is dense hoppy with mild spice notes and seem rather dry. Medium sweet caramel malty base flavour with a solid hoppy fruity flavour on top. Mild wooden notes and lending towards a more spiced palate. Mild spiced finish with a little bite and alcohol warmth.

Aug 28, 2008 Pours deep brown with an amber hue and a small fizzy white head. Semi-sweet malty aroma with a hint piny hops. Flavor is as expected from the aroma. Lightly sweet malts with some piny hop overtones. Kinda middle of the road overall, a bit over-hopped for the style.
