Feb 28, 2005 I thought that this was just fantastic - I really shouldn’t have given Kujo my other bottle! (just kidding, Mike!). Deep brown with ruby edges. Aroma was rich with fruits and chocolate. Caramel chocolate flavors surrounded by plums and dark fruits, body is very smooth. Some spices towards the end, dry finish. Thanks to both Jsquire and Slikwilly for sending these to me.

Feb 27, 2005 Slightly rubyish brown colour. The aroma is chocolatey, richly fruity. The flavour is quite sweet, chocolatey with notes of oranges and sultanas. A little too hot and too spritzy, and these elements make the beer seem uncohesive.

Feb 27, 2005 Dark brown with an amber hue. Decent size head with average lacing. Carmel malts with some sugar cane aroma. Perfumy yeast makes the aroma quite enjoyable. Flavour was ultra caramel sweet.

Feb 27, 2005 Very dark brown beer with a huge rocky head. Sticky lacing that hangs around for a very long time. Sweet malts, dark brown sugar, prunes, dates, sweet caramel and a hint of molasses. Perfumy yeast with some coriander. Bready mouthfeel and flavour with a sweet toffeeish finish. Solid beer.

Feb 18, 2005 Thanks to Suttree for sharing this one!
pours with a frothy head over a murky brown body. Off white head that gave off very little aroma cold, but conjured up nice warm, sweet, malt notes with spices, licorice and fruit.
Some alcohol is present in the aroma that persits in the flavor and finish.
Smooth fruity flavor is sweet and slightly spiced.

Feb 17, 2005 Bottled. Mahogany colour. Sweet and lightly almondy with some banana. Richly malty, toffeeish and raisiny, slightly salty finish. Big, flavourful brew, but too sweet.

Feb 16, 2005 A dee rudy color with long lasting head. Aromatic malts abound with sweet notes. But where be the yeast and spice one would hope to find in a Belgian? Oh, well still a very good brew.
