Oct 19, 2008 Finally tried this one, and perhaps I should actually pick up a bottle. Any bottle that features Thelonious Monk should be purchased out of principle. Dark clear brown pour with a generous off white head. Malty Belgian sugar, mulled apple spice and other various fall fruits. Good, if a little sweet.

Oct 17, 2008 pours a nice brown tan head rich sweet malt character prune dates and other dried fruit flavors aswell as chocolate nice palate good aroma. I lean more toward the hophead pale ales but do enjoy the change of pace a nice belgian dubble or abbey provides and this one does the trick great flavors and aromas warms the soul good stuff. Doesn’t hurt that it supports a cause.

Oct 17, 2008 [330 ml bottle from Systembolaget] Nice amber colour, but not so much foam. The flavour is of malt, caramel, spices and jazz.

Oct 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours hazy copper-brown with a pretty, frothy yellow-tan head that fizzes out to a thin cover in short order. Clears nicely upon warming. Aroma is fruity and sweet, with lots of molasses, plum, and wood/bourbon. Flavor is brown sugar/dark fruit sweet with some tangy yeast and a dry finish. Smooth, with moderate prickly carbonation. Medium full bodied and warming, with a slight burn. I wouldn’t put this up with the very best Belgian versions, but it is still quite nice and a good sipper.

Oct 13, 2008 Pours brown with ruby highlights. About a half inch of head on the pour, but it is quickly gone afterwards. Smell is very nice. Very plump, juicy dark fruit. Some ripe dark grapes, plum. There is a lot of yeast flavor in the first sip. Dominates most of the promising notes that are in the smell. Good amount of carbonation and lively bite in the mouthfeel. Easy drinking, but unfortunately more complex in the nose than in the taste.
