May 3, 2008 Updated: Jul 29, 2008I am relatively new to craft beer, with that being said I have to say that this is the best beer I have ever tasted. I didnt really know what to expect at first and I was originally going to age the bottle I had. I decided to try it out, and I am so glad I did.

May 3, 2008 330 ml bottle. Medium brown, slightly reddish, with small flakes of yeast and a creamy, thin, lasting head. Aroma is plumbs, raisins, yeast and some alcohol. Flavour is strong and full, sweet malts, fruits and caramel. Long warm aftertaste.

May 2, 2008 Updated: May 3, 2008Apperance: Pours a clearish, reddish-brown body marked by a few yeast floaties and topped by a huge, foamy, off-white head.
Smell: Dark caramel scent seasoned with sugar and a savor yeastiness. Sharp fruitiness, with cherry definitely leading the way. Slight wafty hints at that 9% ABV.
Taste: Sweetish maltiness with flavors of dark caramel compounded by a spicy dark candi sugar taste. Hint of breadcrusts. Growing plum and black cherry fruitiness. Spoonful of simple syrup. Slight savory yeastiness. Spice and a medium bitterness try to bring a bit of balance. Drying, cherry-packed finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: All kinds of decent, but, and this is between you and me, I’m more of a Rochefort man, myself.

May 1, 2008 I was impressed with this Belgian Strong Ale. I bought the larger bottle, cork was stamped 01/08 so it was a new vintage. It poured a very dark tan with a light tan, fairly large head. The head stayed through out the drink. Palate was nice, slightly creamy, little bubbly. Flavor was slightly sweet, with nice roast malt flavor. You could smell the yeast - smelt like bread dough really. Good beer - one of the best, in my top 10.

May 1, 2008 (BELGIUM) Had this one at the Capt’s house, Thanks guys!!! WOW, I was told by AFI96 that this one would be the best. It has a brown / burgundy color with a nice foamy white head. The flavor has a pleasant fizzy vanilla / cookie taste. It’s a full bodied brew that goes down quickly. Do yourself a favor, go get some !!!

Apr 30, 2008 From a 750 ml corked bottle. A murky purplish-brown color with a fizzy champagne like head that dissipated within seconds after pouring. Fizzy champagne like carbonation too. Nose of plumbs, prunes, and some floral notes. Fizzy, like champagne, on the palate. Plum and prune in the taste. With the prune like taste and the fizzy carbonation, I could not help thinking of "Dr. Pepper" (the soft drink) as I was drinking it. I can’t decide if that’s good or bad. A decidedly noticeable alcohol taste too, and an alcohol finish.
