Pours a deep garnet with a frothy cream head. Aroma is wine, brown sugar, and candied fruits. The medium body is a rainbow of flavors including caramel, plums, toast, and alcohol. Finishes with a dry tartness and stays extra long.

Draft at Monk’s Cafe. Deep cherry and mahogany pour, decent light beige head. Nose and flavor are lovely, with the classic, expected dark fruit character of plum, touches of earthy fig, tart cherry, and some lovely dirt-like dryness. Hides the booze nicely, and just really good depth for the style. Very tasty.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is of rasin, dark fruits, belgian yeast, some sour cherry, and some toasted wheat. Taste is of raisins, dark fruits, sour cherry, some Belgian yeast, Belgian spices, and some rosemary. Has a medium-full body with a super creamy mouthfeel and a semi dry, spicy, semi sweet finish. overall, a very nice hybrid Belgian Strong Ale that combines a farm house ale and a traditional strong ale and hides its 9% abv very well.

2008 Vintage
Pours a solid dark brown with faint ruby brown highlights when held to light and a huge fluffy beige head that persists forever. Smells of pepper and spice with a solid dark sugary background. The flavor is sweet with sugary malt, a bit of dark fruit, lots of pungent and bitter spice, some pepper and other yeasty phenols. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet almost bitter mouthfeel. I’ve been sitting on this one for a while, I remember liking it a bit more when it was fresh. As is I am neither excited nor disappointed with it.
