Apr 9, 2009 Pouring a dark reddish brown beer with a slight off white head, this beer has a solid appearance. The aroma is slightly sweet malty fruit. The beer is smooth on the palate.
alcohol is slightly noticeable. the finish is smooth but leaves an unidentifiable after taste.

Apr 8, 2009 Poured a deep amber color with a little off white head and little carbonation. To the nose it was sweet with malt and oak. First taste was very sweet and not at all hoppy. As you continued the bottle it didn’t get bittter at all and you almost forgot you were drinking 9% abv, it can and will sneek up on you. I would recommend and try this beer again.

Apr 7, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a medium-dark brown with ruby hues. Soft, yellowish head. Treacle, alcohol, caramel, floral, and fig notes in the nose. Medium carbonation with an odd sticky then dry mouthfeel. Sweet, boozy fruit, dates, figs, some earth notes, and lots of vanilla on the palate. The alcohol warms the whole way. The finish is lasting, mainly with the vanilla. A pretty good Belgian strong.

Apr 2, 2009 Nice semi-clear brown color and large tan head that recedes slowly. Nice mixture of many different malt aromas, the same follows in the flavor. A myriad of different malt flavors, some deep sweetness and great complex dark fruits. I’ve never had a Belgian strong quite like this.

Apr 2, 2009 Pours a murky dark raisin colour with a small head that fades to a sudsy film, leaving spotty lacing. The nose is rich and sweet with nuances of raisins, cherries, other dark pitted fruit and molasses. The flavour is quite similar with a characteristic Belgian dryness that counteracts its robustness. I get a ton of candy sugar, grassy, earthy hops, raisins, dark fruit and a metallic tang. Before it warms, the carbonation is a bit harsh, but it mellows to a tolerably prickly level. The finish is drying, yeasty and leaves a mild residual fig-like sweetness.
