Apr 6, 2008 poured a beautiful "mahogany" color w/ an off-white head. smelled spicy. Tasted of vanilla and alcohol. Very sweet. A little watery in the texture. Overall not bad. Once it warms a bit it gets sweeter.

Mar 31, 2008 Soft, powdery dark Belgian aroma with noticable vanilla and alcohol. Great bottle, label, deep brown orange beer with a big head that fades rapidly. Woody, slightly herbal and tannic. Cream sherry notes. Leans towards tart and bitter, lightly astringent. Medium body, not too fizzy. Decent.

Mar 25, 2008 Raisins on the nose, some clove, with a little molasses. Brown with very noticeable red hues. Medium head with minimal lacing. Seems the alcohol prevails more than the complex flavors in Belgian style ales. Certainly not bad, but better Belgian style ales out there--both American and from Belgium (of course).

Mar 24, 2008 Mahogany beer with light brown head. Aroma is of caramel, spice. Has a sharp caramel flavor with some licorice, chocolate and tobacco notes. Finishes appropriately dry. Has some unpleasant phenolic character (styrifoam) too.

Dark ruby color, big cloudy brown head, lace. Raisins, menthol and yeast, quite Belgian, some roasted notes too. Raisins, plums, sweetish with some yeasty notes. Sticky mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden. Fruity, tasty, not the world class, but good brew..

Mar 19, 2008 Poured from 12oz bottle a clear chestnut brown with a tighly pack large foam head that persisted. A metallic smell (sort of like scrubbed steel) with a brown sugar and raisin sweetness arises coupled with a fresh cut papaya tangy odor. Tastes of overly ripe aged black cherry together with many other layers of sweet - brown sugar, molasses, raisin, and caramel. There is a slight bitterness on the very edge, just enough to make the roof of your mouth and the edge of your tongue tingle. There is a slight alcohol warming. Overall a nice drinkable sipping beer with a kick.
