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).

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.

Mar 18, 2008 25 oz bottle, via several traders. Pours a clear reddish tinted amber under a fizzy long lasting beige head. Lots of visible carbonation retained the head for the duration. The nose is strong, malty, fruity, with a noticable alcohol content. The more it warms the more the fruitiness and yeast character emerges. The flavor is heavily malty with a nice contribution of flavors from the yeast. Lots of dark fruits and figs, heavy caramel, some candi sugar, moderate alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a fairly thick texture and moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, decent and drinkable, I pretty well liked it.

Mar 17, 2008 750 ml bottle. Dark reddish brown. Clear. Light beige small head. Peppery aroma with a bold background of rich malts. Lots of münchenermalts. Smooth texture with lots of malts. Nutty, malty and sweet. Notes of alcohol as the beer is clearly potent. Alcohol aftertaste that is long-lasting. Plummy araoma. Neutral hops. Carbonation balances the warmth.
