Nice aroma. A bit of a fruity smell, with notes of raisins and plums. Also a bit of caramel in the bouquet. Suprisinly, a hint of roasted coffee in the taste. Medium bodied, with some fruit, yeast and caramel taste also. Very Good! kwoeltje (1337), Manchester, Missouri, USA

Slightly musty aroma. Sweet malt. Yeasty like you'd expect a Belgian to be, but with hints of dark chocolate and alcohol warmth. zathrus13 (1320), Mount Laurel, New Jersey, USA

| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Dec 20, 2003 Wonderful yeast aroma with fig all kinds of dried fruit and some candy sugar. Very dark for a Belgian style. Dark brown with nice big tan head that is fully retained. Flavor is reminiscent of the best big Belgians, specifically Westy and Rochefort. Extremely deep flavor with multple layers. Lots of chewiness. This is really amazing brew from Alaska.
