Aug 2, 2008 Clear dark amber, slight head. Aroma was sweet, quite fruity, mianly way overripe apricots, with a dark caramel finish. Somehow the fruit in the nose just jumped out a little too sharply. I’m surprised I’m criticizing a "strong" aroma, but it wasn’t working for me. Flavor was similar - more apricot with dark fruits, some Belgian yeast, and an almost cloying sweetness. Some anise also intruded at the end. This one just didn’t do it for me.
