Aug 1, 2008 Deep brown and ruby poured with a nice fluffy head. Sweet aroma. No discernible aromas. Raisins, caramel, and other dark fruits in the taste. Some sweetness remains. A bit thick for my liking, but fits the style.

Aug 1, 2008 Poured into a goblet. Nice hazy amber color with a pretty good off-white head that stayed for a while and left a bit of lacing.
Flavor of dark malt, cola and fruit. Alcohol is present in the taste but, isn’t hot or solventy.
Sweet malty aroma and good mouthfeel. I thought this was a pretty good attempt at a Belgian strong ale.

Jul 31, 2008 Aroma of caramelized malt. Dark brown with thin foamy head. Good clarity. Bit of an astringency that is characteristic of some porters. Mouthfeel is velvety, heavy. Dry finish. Not for guzzling. Flavor is that of dark roasted malts, dark fruits and nuttiness. Great beer.

Jul 30, 2008 Pours an opaque dark red with a thin tan head. Head dissipates rather quickly, but leaves moderate lacing. Aroma is sweet fruit, like cherries, raisins or figs. Flavor is dark and sweet, with fruit and caramel notes. Alcohol is warming in the finish, but not overly so, considering the ABV. Not the best Belgian style I’ve had, but still a very nice beer.

Jul 30, 2008 750ml bottle. This beer looks great – pours a deep clear reddish amber with 2 finger light tan head with spotty lacing. Nose is dark ripe fruit, caramel, raisins and alcohol. Taste is much like it smells. Sweet dark fruits like figs and raisins and brown sugar with a mild bitter alcohol finish. Medium mouth feel. A bit to sweet for me, but not a bad beer.

Jul 29, 2008 Poured a deep amber color with a medium tan head. Very malty/yeasty aroma. Flavor was very earthy. Decent beer.
Jwasciuk (194), Lowell, Michigan, USA
Jul 28, 2008 pours dark red and clear with a frothy light brown head. Aroma is modratly malty, lightly hoppy and boldly yeasty of bannanna and bubble gum, rasins and cherrys. Flavor starts balanced twords sweet, dark caramel, cansy, dark fruit, rasins. Finishes much the same and dry. Medium bodied, watery and livley

Jul 28, 2008 Pours dark amber and too clear for the style in my opinion. The head stays ok but has very little lacing. Strong caramel smell with raisins as well. Flavor delivers much of the same as the aroma. A bit buttery also. A little thin on the mouthfeel with a decent yet slightly bitter finish. Not much alcohol burn either for the abv.
