Jun 19, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a deep, dark brown with a thick, creamy tan head. Roasted dark chocolate malt aroma with a a some alcohol in the nose. Strong roasted malt flavor that is not too heavy. A surprisingly light, crisp feel to the brew. A bit of chocolate at the end and not much alcohol in the flavor, despite its prevalence in the aroma. A good dark beer for the summer because it packs a good flavor punch without being overly heavy.

Jun 18, 2009 Pours a dark brown color with a decent light tan head. This has a sweet aroma of roasted malt and some spice. The taste is assertive, yet quaffable. Roasted malt sweetness with notes of caramel, molasses and some slight well- balanced sourness, but still thin enough in texture to be refreshing and enjoyably drinkable even on a warm day. Similar to a dark lager, yet retaining the sweet fruity characteristics of an ale. I like!

Jun 17, 2009 Pours a clear dark brown with a small, tannish head with little lacing froma 12 oz bottle,
I liked the elaborate story in the commerical description. Seems as good enough reason to travel to Belgium as any!
Dark ale with balanced taste of nuts, a bit of raisons, and coffee and cocoa like malts. Perfect ale to sip late at night by the fire.

Jun 17, 2009 Bomber. Deep reddish-brown. Clear, medium head. Nice malty nose with a mostly caramel malty flavor profile along with notes of toast, smoke, and raisins. Clean finish with a bit of that lager sourness, and an enjoyable beer that can be sessionable...if you’re in a malty mood.

Jun 16, 2009 I have tried this on tap at multiple locations and it has always been flat. I have also bought a few bottles over the years. Surprisingly, it has always been at least as good out of the bottle, and often it is much better - sometimes it’s not even flat!
Flavor (and there are many) has always been interesting and at times exceptional. If only it were not flat 90% of the time I’d give it a 4 out of 5.
