Jul 22, 2009 Bottle sampled at the Belgian tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 7/16/09. Cloudy brown pour with a big tan head. Malty aroma with lots of caramel and some Belgian yeast. Yeasty flavor up front giving way to caramel malt and a bitter thin finish.

Jul 15, 2009 Solid dark brown color with a beautiful slightly off white head. Nice lacing as well. Unfortunately I think this was the highlight of what was otherwise just a very good beer. Not quite outstanding in my eyes. The aromas were very good. Plenty of roasty malts, caramel, candied nuts, plums, and other fruits on the nose. Yeast also. Especially up front. The flavors just weren’t quite there for me. Raisin and malt. I think I’m being overly hard on this beer. Still very good just not quite great in my eyes.

Jul 11, 2009 (Sample Date: 7/11/2009 Source:Other) Clear deep mahogany brown with a huge rocky off white head that collapses quickly. Caramel and roast aroma with slightly sour hints and light spicy phenolics. High carbonation, medium body and fizzy mouth feel. Flavor is caramel, dark sugars, and dark fruits with hint of roastiness and chocolate and a very slight sour twang. Finish is medium and lightly spicy with just a touch of residual bitterness. Yummy.

Jul 10, 2009 Well I thought the commercial description was right on. Very complex beer with a distinctive taste and very drinkable. Smooth and tasteful, definitely will drink this brew again.

Jul 10, 2009 Smells rich and malty. Looks quite dark, not quite a black pilsner, you can still see the light through it. A strong malty taste that doesn’t ovrepower and lots of carbonation make it feel good and taste good.

Jun 25, 2009 Pours nearly solid brown, I can tell this bottle is a few years old from the gigantic yeast blobs that pour into it. The head on this beer is beige and very large. Aroma is obviously Belgian yeast along with honey and ripe fruit. Taste is mellow yeast and roast malt. Very smooth texture but once again I think it has mellowed a bit. After reading "slightly smoky" I can pick up on it, but before it just seemed like toasted bread.
