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.

does not count  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.

Jun 17, 2009 Pours deep reddish brown with a beige head and excellent retention. Aroma of malt, yeast and dark fruits. THe flavour is full. Notes of plum, chocolate, bread, roasted malt and slightly alcoholic. Good mouthfeel and a very dry finish.
Bosskie (106), Netherlands
Jun 8, 2009 dark brown beer with a foamy head.
sharp yeasty smell, with some citrics and hints of fruit.
The palate starts with a promise of chocolate which dissolves into a rather bitter liquorice taste. Does have a solid yeasty taste although it’s rather undefined.
