Naven (864), Poway, California, USA Dec 20, 2006 On tap @ Flagstaff Brewing Company, Flagstaff, AZ. Nice, dark color, almost a dark brown. Smells awesome. Taste is Malty, spicy, with lots of chocolate and coffee/smokey flavors. Good stuff. MattShizzle (385), Bernville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 20, 2006 Bottle. Pretty good. Strong. Not very flavorful - somewhat of a metallic taste. Overcarbonated. jrob21 (1252), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Dec 18, 2006 Amber color with slight purple hue. Big white head that lasts. Crisp taste that is slightly tart. I like that description. Smells of slight purple fruits like plum and cherry. Taste is of roasted/smoky malt, finish is slightly bitter. Hints of yeast all around. Well balanced, complex, the Belgians do these right. yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Dec 17, 2006 75 cL bottle. Pours hassle nut brown with off-white head.
