Cliff (355), Avon Lake, Ohio, USA Sep 29, 2006 awesome beer, pours deep brown color with a quickly dissipating head. aromas of dried fruits, cherries and spice. not much bitterness. good mouthfeel that coats the tongue. nice lingering aftertaste. a truely great beer. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Sep 25, 2006 What a beautiful beer. Pours a deep redish brown with a big fluffy lasting head. Has some nice sticky lacing also. Aroma of malt and spices. There is no mistaking this awesome Belgian aroma. Flavor is slightly tart with malt and spice. I love the PINK ELEPHANT!!! TheGrandMaster (1846), Auckland, New Zealand Sep 23, 2006 Poured from the bottle, dark brown with a very large pillowy and slightly tan head. Malt and ginger in the aroma. Vinuous flavours, caramal and sugary, tart and dry in the finish. Jwasciuk (194), Lowell, Michigan, USA Sep 20, 2006 pours muryk red/brown with a creamy light brown head. Aroma is complex light bread and hay, dough and leather with red wine. Flavor is balanced, starts rasberry and finishes chocolate covered bannans. Medium to full bodied watery and softly carbonated. Very tasty and complex Marty1018 (2), cleveland, Tennessee, USA does not count Sep 9, 2006 It just does not get better than this Belgian ale. Perfect drinkability. You’d never know the alcohol % by tasting this ale.
This is a brew that should not be served ice cold as it tastes like a fizzy cola. The true flavors come out at about 45-50 degrees.
PS don’t drink too many, I got the champagne giggles. marvinpontiac (117), Huntington Beach, California, USA Sep 8, 2006 Deep mahogany color and a tan head. Smells of sweet dried fruit - cherries, dates, figs, and some caramel. Well balanced and sweet on the tongue - very little alcohol taste for 9%. SoLan (1369), Orlando, Florida, USA Sep 8, 2006 2004 - 8.5%abv. Brown/dark amber topped by a 1", bubbling, festering, tan head that eventually calms to a sheet of ice top. Nose of pungent, way past ripe dark fuits and melons, toasty caramel, doughy yeast, spices, candi sugar, and some subtle, sour, metallic oxidation. Flavor adds roasted grains (especially in the finish), chocolate, marshmallows, easier on the spices and metallic notes. Oxidation almost indetectable in the flavor, mostly just drying up the finish a bit, which works well here. Full body is smoother than balanced. Very nice brew. Miguel (1181), Saint-Ours, Quebec, Canada Sep 6, 2006 Robe brune voilée surmontée d’une mousse beige épaisse qui s’estompe. Arômes de caramel, de chocolat et d’alcool. Saveurs de chocolat, de caramel et d’alcool. Houblon de soutien.
