| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Feb 9, 2008 4 pack from wooden keg. I had high expectations for this beer - Belgian Strongs being my bread and butter. Pours medium brown with a think foamy tan head, which disappears within a moderate amount of time. Mouthfeel was thinner than I prefer and it felt as though it wre falling to either side of my tongue. There’s a strange aftertaste that i can’t quite put my finger on yet but i have 3 more bottles to figure it out. not a bad beer probably won’t buy again after the 4pack but decent.

Slightly fruity, buttery flavor almost like bananas. Swet malty flavors. Has almost creamy consistancy. Tasted as good from the bottle as I remember on tap. TikiE (360), Sylva, North Carolina, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 31, 2008 750 ML Bottle-Dark reddish brown color w/almost no head. Aroma of burnt molasis. Has a bitter, nutty flavor w/traces of burnt peat & firewood. Wasn’t real crazy @ this one, had a kind of stale flavor to it. Didn’t get that classic fresh, Belgian flavor. Average @ best, I wouldn’t recomend it. jobyone (234), Charlotte, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 28, 2008 Draft. Pours dark brown with tan head. The aroma has rich burnt malt along with some carame sweetness. The flavor has lots of bitterness along with some nutty and malt sweetness. The finish has a pleasing bitterness. This was more complex on draft than I remember the bottle being. johndavidj99 (123), Township, Maine, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 27, 2008 Updated: Mar 1, 2008Fast dissipating (creamy-ish) off white head. Dark brown ruby in color. The aroma is almonds, sweet, alcohol, raisins/prunes and malts. The taste is sweet and malty with caramel/malty notes. Alcohol burn is evident. The body is a bit watery so the mouth feel isn’t excellent. I enjoyed it overall because it fits my preferences well. The appearance and body were a bit lacking if anything was.
