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 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.

Jul 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured very dark amber with a smallish light brown head and almost no lacing. Nose was mainly raisins and light spice, then a smokey-fruit and syrupy body with a caramel-alcohol finish. A fine beer but feels incomplete, as if not quite the sum of its parts.

Jul 26, 2008 Pour was medium golden with a medium white head. Aroma was strong of alcohol, malt, fruit, and trappist spices. Smooth brew with a punch. Carbonation was full and well blended. alcohol was hidden a little bit more in the flavor. Good brew. Nice caramel notes in the finish. Would buy again.
