Jan 14, 2008 On tap at Flying Saucer. Has a dark amber color with a small off white head that diminished quickly. The aroma is a sweet malt. Good lacing on the glass. The taste was also a sweet fruit with smooth finish. Enjoyed this Belgian Strong Ale.

Jan 13, 2008 Pours a ruby red with a two finger creamy yellow head, left a sticky lace on the glass. The aroma is musty Belgian yeast, . The flavor has very upfront Belgian characteristics, very yeasty with a dry sweetness. Not too dynamic. A little bit of raisin from the sugars and some alcohol. The palate is very carbonated and warm.

Jan 9, 2008 33 cl. bottle with a 12-2005 drink by date. Pours a cloudy garnet hue with a thin but persistent head. Leaves an incredible lacing on the glass. Smell is a funky orange chocolate. The taste is an acrid, bittersweet caramel, metallic alcohol flavor. Finishes dry with an alcohol kick.
This brew had a taste of the bottle cap which ruined it for me, too bad.2004

This beer is so underrated!!! Tried some more "highly rated" on this site, comments below
Exhibit A:
Rochefort - coca cola syrup, way too sweet and rich. Soft mouthfeel?? One for the ladies.
Exhibit B:
Westmalle - nothing special, still too sweet
Exhibit C:
Orval - horse ass, but kinda refreshing after senses have dulled
Exhibit D:
Chimay - Dr. Pepper
Exhibit E:
Imperial stouts - more expensive than Starbucks

Jan 7, 2008 My "standard" beer. It has a most excellently deep flavor with spritzes of caramel and lots of spices. I sometimes hold this beer up to a light before drinking just to enjoy the dark reds and huge head. Real quality here, and it’s inexpensive enough to get a 4-pack to go with my week’s dinners. Until something better comes along, this is my favorite!

Jan 1, 2008 Poured dark with a good sized head. Rich and full of flavor; mostly plums and raisins. Great beer, but a little to much carbonation. Expect for that one minor flaw it would be with the other elite Belgium beers.
