Dec 31, 2008 Dusty caramelized figs with a sight cinnamon notes. Dark brown color with hints f orange, medium frothy head with nice lacing. Malty spicy sweet with bitter orange peel, some tart notes, a little clove in there. Highly carbonated, medium body, smooth molasses finish with some alcohol warmth. Solid beer.

Dec 30, 2008 Updated: Mar 14, 2009Fantastic Beer that started out no better than Sam Adams American Ale, but then I realized that the flavor improved as it warmed. Drink this only slightly chilled, and not with sushi. It has a little of the Orval alcohol sting to it that I did not find too pleasing.

Dec 26, 2008 Bottle from my sister for Christmas. Poured a dark, red tinted brown with a medium to large tan head. Aroma of yeast, brown sugar, light hints of caramel and fruit. The palate was pretty good with a healthy amount of carbonation. Coated the mouth well. Nice blend of flavors that got better with time. Caramel, brown sugar, cocoa, yeast and fruit. A really well done beer in a style that I really like.

Dec 7, 2008 Brown with some cloudiness and an off-white foam head. Very carbonated. Lots of winter berries, treacle and sugar and some hints of tea on the end. Nice.

Dec 6, 2008 Bomber, generously shared by Arthur. Pours dark brown with a good sized cream head. Soft aroma of sweet malt and earth. This beer starts soft, dancing lightly on the palate with a full-bodied mouthfeel and crisp carbonation. Soft fruit and malt ease in, blending with a delicious nutty character. Corsendonk finishes with lingering sweetness, complemented with some toasted chocolate. Really nice. This beer reminded me of Rochefort 8, although I’m sure the styles are quite the same.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with an extremely large, brownish head. Aromas of chocolate, raisins, port, and molasses. Very lively palate with a thin, oily texture. Long aftertaste that is smooth. Wonderful beer.
