"Had this at Long Trail Brewery on Tap. Poured into a pint glass. I bought two 4-packs to take home, one to drink and another to cellar. A - Arrived at the table with a finger of haze-like head. Quiet a bit of sediment floating around and a brown / amber color. Think haze like amber color. S - brown sugar and maltiness for sure are all over this beer. Some earthy dry fruits like raisins are here as well. T - Lots of alcohol taste, figs and a slight bit of belgian breadiness to it. The alcohol is really strong in this one and maybe a bit of chocolate or caramel flavoring M - MMM. This is a heavy beer but it’s a light carbonation when I swish around a bit. It stays around for a while which is great because the taste is fantastic O - I had this fresh, the week it was released so my feeling might be different than yours but this is a fantastic beer. I’m glad 2 packs are sitting in my cellar right now ready to be consumed. It’s a great warming beer for winter time."

Huge malt bomb with a bit of a boozy finish. Not as pleasing and easy drinking as the double bag is. Grains, molasses, hay dominate this one.

Tasteslike those circus peanuts candy mixed with hopes. Very interesting taste. Like if you ate candy with beer. Not bad though, just not good.

UPDATED: JAN 21, 2012 Bottle, a big malty alcohol beer. Strong malt flavors with pretty much no hop presence.

Sampled on draft at the Headkeeper this beer poured a hazy dark brown color with a medium sized creamy tan head that lingered forever and left incredible lacing. The aroma was quite Belgian and reminded me of the dark beers from St Bernardus - notes of bread, caramel, tea and fig. The flavor was intensely boozy with a tangy sour caramel presence and notes of fig, raisin, molasses and tea. The finish was long with prominent alcohol that really detracted. Moderately full bodied. Interesting.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with little to no head. Smell is nicely malty with heavy notes, slightly alcoholic. Taste is very mild. Just a big beer. Almost like a huge brown ale.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Toasty and fruity aroma, with light hoppy floral notes. The flavor has sweet and toasty malts, light floral notes, some earthy notes, and a light fruity sweetness. Pretty good.
