Oct 8, 2007 Bottle: pours a dark redish brown with a thin but long lasting tan head, aroma of red grapes, flavor of dried dark fruits and toffee with only the slightest warming in the back of your throat to let you know this has some kick. Very nice beer that I will certainly drink more often.

Oct 6, 2007 11.2 oz bottle in the variety pack. When I was pouring it out of the bottle it didn’t appear as dark as it now looks in the glass. The head was very thick, off white. Sweet, malty, carmelly, I wish my alergies weren’t acting up so I could appreciate this one better. I haven’t been that impressed with this label. and it appears this one is the best of the lot.

Oct 6, 2007 750 ml. bottle produced billowy off white tan head. Dark brown color in the glass with malty sweet wafting smells. Smooth and rich on the palate with plum, fig flavors. Nice long lasting finish . Very enjoyable brew no doubt.

Oct 5, 2007 Pours a slightly cloudy amber-brown with an insanely bubbly, huge head. Sweet, pungent aroma of partially refined sugar, berries, and notes of malt & alcohol. Rich, sweet malt taste - sweet red grape, alcohol, dry but lingering sweet finish. Hops not intrusive, just slightly tart. Body is milky and just a wee bit overcarbonated. This is miles better than the Vintage/Christmas version. What a nice beer to stumble upon!

Oct 4, 2007 A ruby claret colour. Nose of berries yeast and noticeable alcohol. The beer has a medium body with a soft mouth feel. The taste is noticeably sweet but with a dry hoppiness. Not as accomplished as Duvel.

Oct 4, 2007 Bottle. Pours deep amber / brown. Beige head. Lacing. Aroma is dark fruits with malt. Taste is sweet / plums / spices. Finish is smooth with a nice bitterness. Can become cloying if drunk too slowly.

Sep 30, 2007 Updated: Feb 1, 2008Awesome bottle. Pours a dark red, almost black, with a nice thin, but lasting head. The taste is a nice mellow fruit, some apple cinnamon taste, a great bitter hop finish, and almost no notice of how strong it is. All hail the golden dragon!
