May 16, 2008 This beer kind of glows in the glass -- not to deify it, but it really gives you the sense of being something special. Aromas are light, but give a preview of raisin, dried pit fruit, and Raisin Bran. Sorry, but it’s in there. Really rich palate. Lots of malts. A generous finish of chocolate and sweet dark fruit like raisin and prune and plum. Very nice and very complex beer.

May 16, 2008 This is my second brew from the Patron Saints Club. Aroma is a sweet roasted scent. Color is a solid amber with good carbonation and a very thin but very tight head. Taste is bold, rich and smooth. Starting with a medium body it goes down smooth with a slight crisp feel coming in at the end. Finish comes on with a rich feel that brings on a sweet raisin taste and a roasted flavor then a light hop flavor. After taste is a creamy dried fruit taste and a slight alcohol feel. This is a fabulous brew, I wish I could drink one of these everyday. I now look forward to the next brew from them.

May 11, 2008 Dark reddish-brown pour with a small but tight tan head. Lots of dark, dried fruit in the aroma, as well as roasty malt and brown sugar. Good flavor, sweet, malty and spicy with a good alcohol bite. Very good.

May 11, 2008 Pours a deep coffee color with a minute head. Pretty aroma of rum and butter toffee. Flavor is of dried fruit, nutmeg, and chocolate. Very nice finish, with alcohol well disguised until you try to get up after the second glass!!

May 11, 2008 750 ml. brown Belgian bottle. Corked and caged. No freshness date seen.
Poured out a dark cola brown, with a sticky, but sparse, tan colored head. Aromas are of rum soaked raisins, prunes, some dank basement. Flavors are of raisins soaked in Bourbon, slight oak and vanilla, dark dried fruit, sweet malts, earthy hops. Thick mouthfeel, rich and chewy. Almost a meal in a glass. Damn tasty beer overall. Wish I had more than just the one.

May 8, 2008 Bright golden-brown colour. Aroma of figs and raisins, and lots of chewy dark malts and hints of molasses. Complex palate with some nice dark fruit character and rich, sweet malts. Long finish and full body.

May 4, 2008 Pours mahogany into a Trappist glass. Tan head with little retention recedes leaving no lacing. Raisin, fig and pit fruit aromas. Tastes like the aroma with slightly thin palat.e

May 2, 2008 Updated: May 3, 2008Thanks Shyam for the bottle. Very dark brown pour that looked great but lacked any head of note. Sweet, slightly toasty malt nose with hints of overripe summer fruits (red apples, grapes, plums, figs). Some stouty notes of vanilla and chocolate. Great complex aroma. Wine-like notes on the palate, though the taste comes through a little overly sweet. Sticky palate. Would have liked some yeast, but still very good overall.
