Aug 30, 2008 750 Bottle - Memphis. Poured a chestnut brown with a white head, continuously being fed by the bubbles below. Subtle raison, maybe sweet cherry in the flavor. VERY dry finish, amazing for a beer that tastes this sweet.

Aug 28, 2008 the best of all three main version, it is strong with lots of fruity malts and a high alcohol content, lots of rich flavors. a must have for the beer snob.

Aug 28, 2008 Updated: Apr 14, 2009750 mL bottle. Pours a dark maple, hazy color with visible particulates from the yeast. Huge brown head that goes down quickly. Aroma is very sweet- almost candy. There are tons of cloves in the mix there too. Very creamy going down. Almost like really good spiked apple cider. Alcohol is very nicely covered up by the malts. Yeast flavor permeates until the aftertaste, which is slightly dry and malty.

Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a huge brown head. Aroma of dark fruits and malt. Flavor shares the sweet malt and dark fruits, with a bitterness at the end. Creamy on the palate. Great beer that is overlooked most of the time.

Aug 27, 2008 750 from Fresh Market, Raleigh. Another one of those beers that’s so ubiquitous that we beer geeks overlook them in the quest for the new. Dark brown pour with a very vibrant body, lots of carb and an abundant head. Slightly fruity in the aroma, and it’s there in the flavor too. But this is a sweet malty beer through and through, with a smooth velvety mouthfeel. Just a hint of bitterness comes on late to make things interesting, but this is basically a lush, warming malty beer.

Aug 26, 2008 Served in very cool bottles, especially the 25 oz variety. A nice, heavy beer with a slightly sweet finish. Pairs nicely with pomme frites that I usually drink it with at a local Belgian beer bar. Highly recommended.
Boliv (188), New York, USA
Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep ruby/brown, small tan head with good retention. Aroma of sweet malts, yeast, brown sugar, and caramel. Thick mouthfeel; crisp, tart, and dry, with sweet dried fruits, sugar, yeast, and well-hidden alcohol. Nice lacing.

Aug 25, 2008 Pours Brown, with a tan almost creamy head, sweet ripen fruit aroma, fruity flavour with hints of chocolate, spice & alcohole like finish. If you try it in room temp. you might taste strong raisin flavour, I like this one
