dark brown with large tan head. flavor is of caramal malt with candy sugar present. the beer is powerful but doesnt really develop the complexity and depth i had expected. the finish is a little sour. i feel as though this beer could have aged a few years to become something

Jul 25, 2008 Bottle from Sams in Chicago. Pours out an amazing thick cream colored head, I mean this gave me a pour with 90% head. The body is a fizzy light brown. The aroma is full of sweet candies and rich fruits. The taste was full of fruits; sour cherries, strawberries, also a massive chocolate and yeast balance. The body is fizzy and full. Some metallic and near bitter notes in the finish. Very well balanced, and so damn good. One of my favorite BSAs for sure. Just lovely.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle...nice lacing...dainty but present...cloudy brown body with a tan head that has a dark tone to it...sweet yeast and a touch of cherries in the nose...initial mouth feel sweet, but the sugars seem real hearty--almost like brown sugar...a tartness to entire presence of this brew--light yet complex...I can dig it ...a little one dimensional , but good

Jul 10, 2008 its a gusher that pours with a giant rootbeer head. It settles at a moderate pace and does not go away fully. Aroma of ripe cheese and malt. Yeasty flavor and full boddied. Floral and tart.

Jul 10, 2008 Milk chocolate brown, seriously thick rootbeer float head. Sediment chillin on the bottom of my glass, some stuck in head. Dark toffee, malt, coffee notes.

Jul 7, 2008 12oz bottle. Incredible beer. Pours a golden color with a tall long lasting white head. As with all De Dolle, this was a gusher. Nose of spicy fruit, yeast and some awesome sour funkiness. Taste has some strong spicy peppery notes but no real hops in this one. Its got a very sweet finish with a nice tartness in the middle. Not much sour here but the funkiness of the yeast comes through in the tartness. Can’t wait to try the Reserva.
