pjweaver (133), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 4, 2009 Trappist (brewery glassware) tap (Sharp Edge, Pgh)
Dark mahogany color, with an iron/metallic aroma. Hints of malt, and boozy over-ripe fruits. Tangy boozy maltiness, with some toffee, red fruits, and sweet malt. Tangy metallic palate, with the brandy-warmth lingering. donfardz64 (406), Wellington, New Zealand Jan 3, 2009 Opened this and it exploded out of the bottle onto my desk! Be careful with this one. After the cleanup; poured cloudy dark brown, brown head. Nice creamy caramel aroma, some apple fruit, a lot of spice. Taste is quite warm, spicy chocolate and caramel. Subtle bitterness comes in late to help balance the malty sweetness. Finishes sweetly, with caramel. Marthinus (115), Denmark Jan 3, 2009 Nice malty finish, strong perfect alcoholized belgian beer wiht nice amber colour and big head hombrepalo (726), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 2, 2009 New Years 2009 beer! Rang in the new year with a Draak blast. A fine looking beer, even if it is brown and not golden. A nicely flavored, aromatic head leads to a crisp, gritty hoppy flavor. The Begian qualities and spices are definitely evident, but the alcohol is excellently hidden. Finally, a smooth finish lets me call this an extraodrinary beer. JJClark (545), Roscoe, Illinois, USA Jan 2, 2009 Bottle from a variety pack. Pours a hazy amber color with a big frothy head. Aroma of yeast, caramel, citrus and spices. Taste of malt, over ripe fruits and spices. Has a earthy semi sweet finish. Nice brew.
Swalden28 (1439), McKinney, Texas, USA Dec 31, 2008 Bottle from S&K Beverages in Plano, TX. Pours a very nice looking deep reddish amber with nice beige head. Aroma is great, citrus, malt, yeasty, caramel, pretty nice! Flavor is very good, sweet, caramel malty, fruit, nice small citrus tang, alcohol, brown sugar, nutty....pretty complex. Mouthfeel is heavy bodied, has high carbonation and a little fizzy. Overall, this is some good shit! Worth the money!
