Jun 12, 2008 Wow this one is great. I shared this one with one of my best friends and it is really amazing. Strong as hell!! Nice and dark with a yummy head. Aromas of dried fruit, caramel, toffee, yeast, bread...MMMMM! Flavors are robust and sweet and malty. YES SIR!!!

Jun 12, 2008 dear lord, what a beer! dark, cloudy, and brooding, with a fluffy tan head. the aroma is enough to make me wish my wife wore it as cologne...dark fruit, dried fruit, caramel, dough and an alcoholic warmth on the nose. taste-wise, this is so layered it’s ridiculous. more caramel maltiness, tons of dark fruit, candi sugar, a chewy doughiness, loads of spiciness...finish is caramel, fruit, and a little bitterness. glorious!
(the bottles make great candleholders for your bar, too!)

Jun 10, 2008 Unusual white bottle. you can taste alcohol in this one, but not too much as i expected, strong caramel and coffee taste, light co2, lot of sweetness (maybe a little too much for me)

Jun 7, 2008 (Belgium) Pours a dark brown color with a fabulous foamy white head with some nice carbonation. Aroma of dark fruits / alcohol / and caramel. The taste is creamy, robust, with a molasses and toffee flavor. This is a amazing strong ale, The 10.5 % alcohol is present and will deliver a T.K.O you if drink piss beer all the time.....lol. :)

Jun 7, 2008 The way in which the alcohol, sugar, and malts combine in this - admitted, somewhat overwhemling and vulgar - fluid is absolutely fabulous! Dark rye bread, almost german pumpernickel, raisins, prunes, hints of licorice, port, and brandy – all put together in a black Belgian brew; I’m satisfied! It may be on the strong side – but the alcohol is the factor which binds it all together. One of my all-time favorites, and will be for a long time.

Jun 6, 2008 Pours a deep maroon color with a medium, well-retained off white head. Smells of sweet fruits, caramel malts, and yeast mostly. The flavor was much of the same. Very fruity in its taste, molasses, figs, and grapes seem to stand out the most to me. The alcohol was seemingly masked brilliantly, as there wasnt much of a hint of the 10.5% that this brew consists of. Just a nice, well done Belgian.

Jun 4, 2008 Draft. Pours brown with an off white head. Caramel, toffee and bread in the aroma. Medium body. Flavor is caramel/toffee, raisin, bread and just a hint of hops. Very nice, very drinkable.
