mmmbeer (737), Austin, Texas, USA Sep 4, 2008 11.2 oz bottle in trade from mar-thank you! Served in trappist glass- poured brownish amber with copper tints, low-medium carbonation, clump of off tan bubbles in the middle for a head, some spotting lacing. Aroma of alcohol, brown sugar, and figs. Hits the mouth with a well defined medium body, very sticky throughout, tons of flavors ranging from candy sugar to hardwood to allspice, finish lingers around until you take another sip. It’s not Westy 12, but it’s real close... KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan Sep 1, 2008 Dark reddish brown, huge tan head. Enticing aroma of fruit, spice, whiskey, figs, caramel. Huge flavor of caramel/molasses, figs, spices, maple syrup. The aroma is just a bit too faint, but the flavor is great. Slightly lighter in body than I expected. cbkschubert (1945), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA Aug 31, 2008 33 cl bottle - Pours a deep amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head that faded somewhat quickly for a Belgian ale. Very light lacing. Aroma is mainly esters, light malt and alcohol. Well, flavor is much of the same. I think the alcohol detracts from this beer. Medium body. A decent beer. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Aug 29, 2008 Poured deep ruby red with a nice, long lasting tan head. Lightly roasty and mostly chocolate malts with a hint of brett. Soft and thick palate - reminded me of a chocolate milkshake! The finish was full of dark sugar and warming alcohol. Overall this beer is a little too hot Damico (162), Norristown, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 17, 2008 This quadrupel looks more like a thick stout than an ale because of its rich, dark, motor oil color. The thick creamy taste also give the impression of a stout. This is smooth and delicious, especially on tap in the correct 10.5 oz glass/sifter. blutt59 (2045), Dallas, Texas, USA Aug 16, 2008 bottle, dark amber color, malty nose with flavors of prunes, brown sugar, plums and slight smoke, very good lasting finish dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA Aug 16, 2008 pours deep ruby color, generous head, some lacing. nose of plum, malt, sweet fruit and alcohol. flavor is sweety, plummy, malty. oh yeah. and alcoholy. palate is oily, medium bodied. overall, although it is pretty fruity, it is also highly alcoholic, so if you are in a real hurry to get drunk, this just might be the beer for you. cheers. and enjoy! Berserkir (38), New York, USA Aug 15, 2008 Pours dark ruby brown with a nice head. Dark fruit, brown sugar and malt. Very sweet flavor with a nice subdued alcohol bite. Very drinkable.
