Bomber thanks to Carlos, a significNt great divide flavor in this beer, overly sweet and malty. Decent quad but trumped by most Belgians. Stick to the yeti fellers

22 oz bottle from Beers of the World in Rochester NY, served in a snifter. Pours clear reddish copper with a small tan head. The head fades to a thin cover and leaves a small amount of fine lace. On the nose, there are notes of caramel, spice and fruit, along with candi sugar, raisins and a touch of earth. The flavour is quite sweet with notes of molasses, raisins and candied fruit, along with a touch of herbal hops and Belgian yeast. The finish is long and malty sweet with a fair hoppy balance and a touch of spice. Overall, this is a decent dark Belgian-style ale. It is very malty sweet with candi sugar and fruit. A very pleasant brew for winter. 2011-11-11

2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Serving: 22 oz. bottle from State Line Liquors. It pours a deep mahogany color with dense, light tan head. The nose is sweet and bready with some caramel, vanilla, and leather. The flavor is cloyingly sweet with leather and too much vanilla. Throw in an off metallic note. Heavy on the tongue with lower carbonation. Despite a promising start, this one finished terrible for me. Not very good.

Dark Brown/Ruby clear pour with a thin off-white head. Aroma is malt, caramel, vanilla, some dark fruit. SOme Belgian yeast on the nose too. Flavor is sweet, a little sticky, malty, caramel, "Belgian." Mouth feel is warm alcohol but not hot. Good beer.
