WolfsBlood84 (103), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Jul 29, 2007 12 oz Bottle - Pours a dark brown/rubyish color with a good, long-lasting head and mild lacing. Aroma is malt, sweetness, light fruit, and undertones of alcohol. Taste is strong, robust, malty, sweetmess, and slight alcoholic aftertaste. Pretty good brew, but also pricey @ $18 for a four pack. marvelred21 (6), USA does not count Jul 29, 2007 Out of the bottle... poured a dark nut brown color with a thick off-white head. Aroma is strong with sweet malts and fruit with a mild smell of alcohol. The flavor is strong with dark fruits, figs and plums and brown sugar. Sweet malts and alcohol are very strong, but complimented by the fruit and brown sugar. Overall, a very good ale. degrassi (30), cypress, California, USA Jul 26, 2007 Belgian #3... Poured a nice clear dark brown with a thick off white head that really had staying power. At first i was taken aback because it reminded me of a poorer belgian i had recently consumed, but as i sniffed and tasted a little more i really warmed up to this beer. An attractive and tasty belgian, not my favorite, but not one i regret buying. scraff (1921), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Jul 26, 2007 Draft @ Gingerman (NYC) - Deep brownish red, thin creamy off-white head. Nose held sweet notes of port, fig, cotton candy, raisin, and brown sugar. Flavor was sweet as well with candied dark fruits and toffee brittle tones sitting on soft vinous waves. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying sweet finish. Nice late night sipper... redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA Jul 24, 2007 Figs, caramel, vanilla aromas. Pours dark brown with a thick white head. Rich and creamy, caramel, dark fruits, dates and figs, some brown sugar. csbosox (1076), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Jul 22, 2007 11.2 bottle. Served in a Duvel tulip @ 49°. Huge four fingered head. Darker than I expected at a reddish amber. Dark fruits, yeast, lemon, and vanilla aroma. Initial taste is raisins, plums, yeast and vanilla followed by brown sugar, warming alcohol, dark fruits. FInish is lingering alcohol and bitterness. Pretty tasty. ksigty (107), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA Jul 22, 2007 LOVED this beer. It bites you and then licks the wound. A cloudy reddish hue with a tremendous head an aroma. Tastes almost like a barley wine. Not very bitter but actually sweet with a caramel and hop finish. Interesting bottle design..... Wim (1278), Turnhout, Belgium Jul 22, 2007 dark red brown coloured body with a large off white head a caramel fruity aroma and a nice caramel fruity taste with a nice sweet finich
