Feb 29, 2004 Pours a beautiful dark opaque brown color with a large, creamy, thick, everlasting tan head. The aroma was full of spices, clove, alcohol, sour raisins, and a nice bready/yeasty tone. The flavor was almost perfectly complex...sweet banana/clove, spiced apples, sweet grapes, alcohol, yeast, and some acidic/spicy hops at the end. The feel was very smooth, thic, creamy, crisp carbonation, with a semi-dry finish.

Apr 10, 2004 Updated: Dec 2, 2004Deep brown, small tan head. Sweet nose with some tanginess, tar, yeast. Very smoky flavor, medium sweet, some fruit--plums, apples. Has a slight tannic bite, and just a hint of bitterness in the finish. A bit too much CO2 to get the best bearing on the flavor. Interesting beer--not really as much like a Belgian ale to me as a rauchbier.

Mar 3, 2004 22 oz bottle pours a red black color with a monster tan head and cobweb lace. The aroma is yeasty, banana like, spicy, and malty. The flavor is raisin, banana, chocolate malt, nice yeast, spice, minor hops, peppery, and all around just very Trappist like. The body is nice and creamy, smooth, and moderate carbonation. Overall, fantastic!

Sep 7, 2004 Special draft at a local pub. Not as impressive as its ratings suggested. Old keg? Bad lines? Looked right, but the nose was of musty malt. Missing the floral notes. Taste was dampened by the same maltiness. Small bits of plum and fruit peeked through. Drinbkable but disappointing.

Apr 7, 2004 Updated: May 1, 2004ooh, this needs to warm up or else it's violently acidic and fizzy. when it does warm up, there is a smooth and tart cherry fruitiness along with dark chocolate. imagine that as a spread, which is on toast. there are other subtleties i cannot label, but seem to resemble sugar and fruit. it at first seemed like an exotic cherry chocolate cola, but allowing it to warm provided wine characteristics along with what seemed to be chocolate pastry. it's a little sticky on the lips and it's very warming. the alcohol is only felt and is hardly detectable by taste. great to enjoy slowly. it's a fine dessert. thanks much to slikwily.

Feb 18, 2006 Updated: Feb 20, 2006Another excellent beer courtesy of Kinz at the first Richmond Beer Night. A nice liquor based aroma, pines and spices are accents. Dark brown body with a minimal light brown head. Excellent flavor with high carbonation. A very clean ending.
