The Nostradamus pours a ruby dark beer with a tan, thick, long lasting head. The aroma is dominated by red frutis, brown sugar and caramel. The taste follows the aroma with proeminent port-wine-like flavors. The beer is not as full bodied as one would expect from such a powerful ABV. Overall a nice brew.

330ml bottle. An opaque brown body, big mocha head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of wine, yeast, roasted malt, coriander, herbal hops, a little cheesy. Taste of yeast, caramel, figs, raisins, bitter herbal hops, coriander, dried dark berries. The alcohol is there, but not too prominent. A good warming effect, and a little sticky.

Pours a deep hazy rusty red brown with a medium beige head. Aroma of caramel malt, some dark fruit and plum esters. Taste is of caramel malt, Belgian yeast, some dark fruit favors of black plums, figs, brown sugar with a bit of tartness and mild bitterness. Palate is medium body, smooth with mild carbonation, a slightly sticky mouth feel. Finish is caramel malt, Belgian yeast, dark fruit of plums, mild tartness and bitterness with some sweet brown sugar and alcohol on the end with some lingering sweet yeast and plums. Overall a very good, smooth and flavorful brew.

Intense aroma, reminds me of nuts and fruit. You can also smell the alcohol content clearly. The appearance is solid - a good medium brown. Tasting the beer reaffirms the nose, this beer has a nutty sweetness and an alcohol bite. No complaints on the palate, pretty good carbonation & bottle conditioned. Overall a pretty solid brown ale.

On tap at Monks in Philly. Pours a medium brown color with a light tan two finger head. The smell is malty with fruity esters, caramel and a grassy background. The taste is malty sweet with a spicy finish and a lingering hop presence. Some alcohol shows as he beer warms. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth and creamy, with mild carbonation.
