| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 6, 2008 12 oz bottle. Decent to nice lace...very belgian. Nose and flavor wrap up caramel, rich malts, warmth, toffee, and a lot of booze. A bit too strong on the alcohol...tough to drink. Was best at room temp. grandridge (222), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 6, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a strong reddish hue. Strong fruit aroma with citrus and sweet notes also. Sweet overall taste. Can barely taste the alcohol considering this is 12% by volume. Expected this to taste much stronger. Finishes with a bitter but dry sweetness. Great beer, overall. Definitely worth trying. Hard to believe it’s ranked at only 82%.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 22, 2008 WOW, great beer. Aroma is slight butterscotch, pour is amber with a thin flat head. Flavour is burnt toffee, brown sugar and finishes with some good strong bitterness. The ABV is very high at 12% but it carries it off, there is a bit of heat in this, but not massively unpleasant like so many other beers that I have had that go above the 10% ABV range.
