Bottle, thanks ekstedt. Clear dark amber with a mostly diminishing, small, creamy off-white head, leaving a fair amount of lacing. Lightly malty, moderate to heavy on the hops, some yeast. Caramel, perfume, orange, soap, broth bubble gum and chalk. Moderately sweet and lightly bitter with a short finish. Light to medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, alcoholic.

emerica56 (600) - Bristol, Rhode Island, USA - OCT 12, 2008
Pours a cloudy orange amber and after it was dumped into a trappist glass the off white head faded rather quick. The nose is nice and sweet with some floral hops and rasins. The flaovr is very malty and grainy initially you can really taste the malted barley mixed with light fruits. The booze is not very apparent which is nice to know it is there but not really accentuiated in the flavor. Overall it is a great brew and the flavor is amazing.

liinis (1103) - Helsinki, FINLAND - OCT 3, 2008
Very strong and quite complex flavor with fruits and spices. a little aggressive in mouth, too much carbonation, but when it settles the beer is very enjoyable.

RigorMortis (24) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 30, 2008
Tap @ Bier Markt - Absolutely incredible. Deep color, rich slightly sweet taste with notes of fruit, particularly bananas. Smooth and easy to drink despite the strength. Would have given it a perfect rating except I had their Quadruppel immediately after and it was even better ;)

Bottle from Total Wine. Amber pour, a bit hazy with a nice white head. Aroma is very fruity...some bananas and some stone fruit. Flavor is quite good. Yeast, spice, banana and a slight bit of bitterness can be found.

ucusty (2619) - Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA - SEP 17, 2008
Cloudy amber pour with a decent white head that dosn’t last long. Aroma is of grains and a hint of hoppiness. Starts out a little sweet but is quickly followed up by a bitterness that evens things out nicely. (note: when this beer warms the bitterness becomes a lingering bittersweet ending
