4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 bkurtz (578) - - JAN 25, 2013Pours dark brown brown with a pretty big light brown head. Dried fruit aroma. Taste is a semi-sweet dried fruit (fig, banana) with a mild spice. Heavy malts make a very full beer. This is a well-made, delicious brew.

Buena cuádruple. color caoba oscuro con tonos rojizos y espuma beige de densidad media. El aroma es, principalmente, de fruta ácida y malta. En boca muestra esa acidez equilibrada con un final de alcohol también muy matizado. Grata experiencia.

Dark chocholate body, slight beige head. Watery sugar nose. Firmly sweet body but no Belgian warmth to the middle. Slightly dense finish of nothing real actually too formidable. Fairly safe, not at bogging as the Red Wine version.
