Amber to black hues. Smells a little sweet, maybe sour. Sweet and very smooth, quite cool to the flavor. This is a good tasting beer and I do agree that you cannot taste the alcohol. I could handle it being just a bit more bitter and a little less sweet. Other than that it is a great tasting beer.

One of my favorite beer styles!When poured into my glass, this beer poured a medium sized tan creamy head with fine-medium sized bubbles.The head fully diminished.The body had some carbonation and the hue was dark brown.The nose of this beer was that of spices, cloves, malt and caramel.The flavor was malty and I could taste the alcohol in this beer.The mouthfeel was tingly, smooth and light-medium bodies.The lacing was fair.This beer did not have an overpowering alcohol taste to it and this is definitely a beer that I could drink a couple of during the course of an evening.A great tasting beer!

This brew poured a medium head of creamy finely sized light brown mostly lasting bubbles that left a fair lacing and a nearly opaque dark brown lightly carbonated body behind. Its aroma is a very plesane malty one with lots of caramel notes to it. Very nice. The flavor is nice too with a noticable alcohol content that doe not reach out and gag you but rather compliments the flavor quite nicely. The flavor also has notes of caramel and malt in it. The alcohol leaves a tingly mnouthfeel behind that lasts a fair length of time. Over all, it is one lf the better brews I have had lately.

my dad purchased this at For What Ale's You in North Muskegon while i was home, belgian strong ale?? are you serious? who the hell said that? tasted more like a dark ale or porter to me, it was dark but still almost translucent with a minimal tan ring for a head, malty creamy, spicy, it was rather heavy on the tongue but was pleasing, brown sugar was in there somewhere, roasted and nutty tasting, but no where near a belgian strong ale... WTF? but was a good beer a really good beer

Amber color. No head. Kind of a flat taste. For a Belgian strong ale it's really weak. A little spicy but this beer is missing something. Finishes with a slight bitterness but mostly smooth.

Huh. Maybe the pizza I was eating affected the flavor, but I was sure I would log on and see a bunch of cherry comentary. The dominant note I got from this thing was a huge frutiness, which I pinned down as cherry as I went. Otherwise, it has some horsey, leathery, musky tones and interesting runs of roasts and sweets.

Deep dark garnet brown with nice tan head. nice roasty aroma. taste is of dark fruits, mild spices, definately has some brown sugar notes as was earlier noted, quite tasty and by far the best of the Big Hole bears that I've had.

mahagony body and light head. roasted fruity smeel and a nutty frutty, hoppy taste. Good carbonation. Good ABV.

Dark brown color Small head. Aroma is molasses and brown sugar. Medium bodied. Malts are prevalent and not very sweet. Hops are slightly spicy There are a lot of brown sugar notes to this beer, yet its not very sweet. Which is kind of weird. Some yeastiness. Smooth taste. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
