Old review from notes... Served at room temperature in Duvel glass. Nice and big rich malt aroma; chocolate, dark cherries, coffee, milk, possibly some smokiness in there too. Dark chocolate body with a big fluffy off-white head and a few yeasty chunks for good measure. Slightly creamy palate, alcohol just noticable. Has an almost vineous note about. Rich dark chocolate flavours dominate. Has this creamy/milkiness about it too. Very tasty and drinkable.

Bottle KSBF 08- Poured a light brown with small head. Slight sweet with some butter scotch roast. Good malt middle with the ABV kind of mixing it up a little.

Tap from WBF in Durham. Deep copper pour, slightly hazy with minimal head. Yeasty nose and malt. Slight wood taste and definite malt. Odd fruits... crabapple? Spice. Flavor comes through nicely in the long aftertaste.

From a bottle at the KSBF ’08. Light brown body topped by a small head. Nose of caramel, toffee, and light spice. Tastes of caramel, chocolate, toffee. Spritzy mouthfeel. Pretty good.
