Jun 14, 2007 Updated: Jun 15, 2007Bottle from Capone’s, and drank with Ross and Shigadeyo on AIM. Pours a muddy chocolate dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of yeast, raisens, vanilla, clove. Soft carbonation and a surprisingly thin texture for a quad. Initial flavor of sugary plums, with the middle having notes of yeast, dark bread, banana, spice and a hint of vanilla. Finish has a strong clove presence, along with strong alcohol that really warms the windpipe. This is much better at warmer temps. Interesting beer, as this tastes like a quad that had a splash of saison mixed in. Well crafted, but I do not find the complexities to be harmonious on my palate.

Jun 3, 2007 Nose-metal, figs, Belgian sugar. Body-medium ring of bubbles, no head. Taste-raw raisin, alcohol, medium to high sweetness, molasses, brown sugar, low-medium alcohol. Really looses it’s thinness and open up as it warms up. When it warms it becomes less thin and richer, with the sweetness and rum qualities coming out. Very nice. Good sweet Belgian beer.

Oct 18, 2007 Love the label. My fourth beer from this brewery. So far, only The Angel’s Share truly impressed me. This was a decent beerwith a hazy chestnut body and a weak halo of tan bubbles serving as a head. Malty in the nose with some fruit and spice. Medium to full bodied with a smooth feel in the mouth. The flavor was bittersweet with spice and fruit and an alcohol finish.

May 27, 2008 750 from Saints Club. I’d been leery of this one because of the advertised raisins. Not because I have anything against raisins, but because it seemed like a candidate for flavor singularity/dominance. Shoulda trusted Tomme, as it turns out. While the raisins are there - delectable and slightly tart rather than processed or sugary - it’s part of a monstrously good Abt that rivals some of the best Belgian styles out there. Man, what a brewery.

Pours dark brown with ruby highlights. Almost no head. Sweet aroma with lots of dark berries (currants) and a dash of liquorice. Flavour is likewise with a warming alcohol finish.

Jul 12, 2008 Thanks Irishboy! Bottle. Very deep ruby/mahogany, tan head. Nose is raisin, toffee, yeasty clay, tobacco, light char & floral notes underneath, chicory. Flavor is raising & cherry, alcohol & yeast, dark fruits abound & are balanced by woody chicory. A kind of smoky bitterness as well. Yeast & alcohol come out more in the finish w. growing bitterness. Great light body but the alcohol is a bit overwhelming.

Jun 8, 2007 750ml bottle shared with theisti. Served in a red wine glass. Simplicity is bliss in this beer. 3 things stood out in the beer in both the aroma and flavor. Dark caramel malts, raisins, and alcohol. Medium body, and very easy to drink. Wonderful way to end my evening. I received this bottle form jasonmech77. Thanks.
