Mar 22, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown with brown head. Aroma of chocolate, malts and tarr. Taste dark malts and alcohol, much like a stout. I didn´t find much belgian strong ale in it, still fine.

Mar 22, 2009 Bottled. Pours out in an opaque dark brown colour with a white rich head. Rich and warming aroma of figs, coriander, fudge, pepper and yeast. Full-bodied with yeasty, spicy and rather crisp notes of coriander, anise, nutmeg, sweet licorice and fudge. Long warming spicy finish of anise, milky chocolate and coriander. Felt a bit simplistic and un-inspired compared to last years versions. Still tasty.

Mar 19, 2009 Corked bottle. Deep dark brown color, almost opague with a big creamy head. Coreander, chocolate, pepper, licorice and caramel in the aroma. Full bodied, malty sweet spicy flavor with coreander, nutmeg, chocolate, caramel and pepper. The alcohol is there, but not too abundant. Too spicy for my taste, but this is a well made beer.

Mar 16, 2009 Bottle sampled at Chancey Smith’s in London, ON- Very dark brown, almost black. Pours a frothy mocha cap. Nice sticky lace. Nose is belgian candy sugars, dark pit fruits, perfume, spices, some alcohol and a bit of yeasty mint. Tastes quite sweet and minty. Dark fruit, cotton candy, milk chocolate, some woody earthy coffee, with a sharp, dry hop profile making it seem a bit less sweet. Creamy on the palate, perhaps a bit too heated for mass consumption, but overall quite well done. Thanks for getting in this one Milos!

Mar 8, 2009 Drunk to celebrate my rating number 12,400. A pitch black beer with a huge dark brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of alcohol as well as lighter notes of ginger, coriander, coffee, and cocoa. The flavor is sweet and very roasted and spicy - especially coriander, but also notes of alcohol and lighter notes of cocoa, leading to a dry cocoa and roasted finish. The alcohol is felt both on the tongue and palate, and lingers for a long time.

Mar 3, 2009 Bottle (750ml). Shared by blankboy with me, biegaman and garthicus. Deep ruby-brown pour, clear, solid frothy tan lasting head. Fruity aroma, slight bitter dry cocoa and some spruce/pine resin. Taste - quite strong alcohol, light roast malt, dry spiciness, citrus zest, baker’s chocolate bitterness - not terribly well blended. Surprisingly not at all heavy-bodied, nice and lively mouthfeel, quite spicy and boozy through the finish - very warming indeed! Might be better with some cellaring.

Mar 3, 2009 Bottle from Knightly Spirits. Pours black with a light brown head. The nose is subtley sour and grainy. Toffee, roasted almonds, cashews, toast, and molasses dominate the flavor. Finishes with notes of spiced apple. Soft carbonation and medium/full body. Good beer.
