Bottle. A nice malty aroma, some bread, light sweet. The head is medium large, creamy and beige with a long duration. The body is dark brown. The taste is nice malty with some hops, the finish is rather bitter. The body is dry with a soft carbonation and medium strong.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2010 Bottle from Lagersalget, Grønjordskollegiet:

Clear brown beer with a little cream coloured head. Fair duration. Aroma is caramel, sweet malts. Flavor is somewhat more complex with notes of chocolate, sweet malts, alcohol and bitter hops. The beer still seems boring, though. Palate is watery, no traces of thickness or creamyness. The bad texture and fizzy carbonation ruins this beer.

750-ml bottle Rouses, Lafayette, LA - Aroma: raisin, sweet malt, ; Appearance: clear, opaque reddish-brown color, off-white to tan head, lots of laces; Flavor: dried fruit, sweet, salty; Mouthfeel: full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation; Overall: a smooth moderate alcohol belgian beer with smell and taste of dried fruit, malty sweetness, and a slight dry finish. However, would like more complexity with phenols and esters, maybe more chocolate.

Smells like dark fruit, raisins, and brown sugar. The taste has dark fruits and chocolate, with just enough sweetness. Nice carbonation makes it refreshing, despite the strong flavor. Not too much alcohol. Very good beer! I might not give it back to Ughsmash...

12oz bottle. Poured mostly clear burnt orange with lively rising carbonation and a creamy cap of beige head. The aroma picked up toasty raisins, dates, and honey with accents of vanilla bean and smoke.. peppery spices on the back.. excellent presentation. The flavor found a whole lot more of raisins with lesser dates, and again some sweet honey to tie it together.. white and black pepper plus a touch of cloves around.. enjoyed the dry earthy yeast laced throughout. Medium-bodied and warm on the palate with dense carbonation.. spicy and engaging.. YUM!
