dark, redish amber ale with copious head. Cloudy with noticeable yeast. Fizzy and lively in the mouth. The aroma is difficult to describe, you could say it smells of oxide and sour apple candy.The predominant flavor is of green apples with some spices.There is a good balance of hops and sourness. This beer should belong in a category of it’s own, I have never tasted anything with a similar taste. A good beer nonetheless. B+

Oct 13, 2008 Really enjoyed this beer...luscious dark chocolate pour with a milk chocolate head. Raisin, cocoa, plum, vanilla, and roasted almonds hide the 9% alcohol well. Aroma of molasses, cherry skin, and brown sugar are inviting. Good brew!!!

Oct 7, 2008 Wow, is this a great beer. Now granted, this is my first exposure to Belgian beer, but it sure won’t be the last. It produced massive amounts of a tan head on the pour, even with a slow pour at a 45’ angle. Dark fruit to the nose and a rich nutty flavor that completly hides the 9% alcohol. This beer tasted great right from the refrigerator and as it warmed to cellar temperature. The alcohol warmth only came it as it neared room temperature. It did not strike me as all that tart, as many have noted. One of my favorite beers to date.

Oct 1, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Highly carbonated creates a great mouthfeel. Reminiscent of a kinda sparkling little kids wine on new years kinda stuff on the nose. A pleasant beer, but not incredible.

Sep 28, 2008 Stunning chestnut brown pour with luscious pillowy head. Gorgeous. Brandyish toffee, fruited nose with a green apple boozy cherry quality. Vineous body with a figgy chewed yeast and salivating tartness developing mid to late palate. Thies yeilds an earthy toasted fruit finish. Layered flavors and nice complexity. All together this brew brings the funk sauce. ... Nice.
