Split a big bottle this with my wife at Volo. Dark brown, big beige head - looks nice in appropriate glassware. Aroma of spicy malt, but it is subtle. Mouthfeel is medium but well carbonated. Taste featured more spicy malt, but with more a dark fruit and floral characteristic than what I was expecting. Alcohol is there. A really wonderful beer.

Oh, you curious noble little gnome you. You planted and grew a right good little beer here. Syrupy but delicious. Intentionally drank this in an illegal manner. Mmm, well built and tasty alcohol.

Eructoblaster (2043) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 6, 2005
Dark reddish-brown body topped with a nice and lasting off-white foamy head. Good malty nose with spicy and yeasty hints. Robust and complex taste that has some notes of toffee, spices, dark berries, and brown sugar. Ends with a long and warm finish. More than drinkable.

MrManning (1942) - London, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 23, 2008
Bottle-Pours a deep, but slightly transparent mahogany body, with a nice beige froth sitting atop, leaving nice lace. Spicy, fruity nose with molasses, brown sugar, cherries and plum, with a touch of wood. Sweet Belgian candy sugar is up front, with peppery spices, some wood smoke, cherries and prunes. Quite effervescent and refreshing given the style and ABV. High drinkability. Well crafted.

Optigon (562) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - MAR 7, 2007
Pours dark brown with little head. Strong aroma of caramel, spicy, and a little sour. Solid mouth feel with a light, but present hop quality. Along with a mildly caramel flavor, bits of raisin and alcoholic warmth come forward with yeast esthers coming forth.

It gives a very unique aroma of perfume and floral hops. Taste is very floral as well, reminds me of a garden

Pours out a nice brown color with a decent white frothy head. The aroma is of yeast and sweet fruit, maybe grapes or cherries. The taste is sweet with some notes of grapes, and some other sweet fruits I couldn’t really put my finger on. Finishes with a slight alcohol flavor. Nice beer

Very thick head. Nice brown color. Nice malt, caramel and toffee aroma maybe fruity too. Malt, caramel, spicy flavors with some alcohol vapors. Spicy, peppery finish. Sticky mouthfeel.
