Jan 9, 2008 Updated: Mar 21, 2008Labeled 9.4% abv. Aroma is pleasant with a light toasted sensation and moderate piney hops. There was also pear, nutmeg and cinnamon in the aroma. Appearance was nice. Average sized frothy off-white head that played the disappearing act. Color was a very dark amber or brown. The flavor was a bit of a disappointment, salty and sour at first followed by a very strong copper aftertaste. Good attempt at a Belgian strong, but I know that North Coast can do better. According to my dad this is a very good attempt at a common Belgian street ale. I have another bottle that I am going to age for a while.

Jun 10, 2006 Bottle. Rucy-mahogony beer with a light beige head. Sweet malt, spice and plum aroma. Rich malt, stone fruit (plum/cherry) and yeasty flavor. Alcohol slightly warming, but very drinkable. Flavor is great but the finish is slightly lacking. Still - very good.

Oct 28, 2006 This is a decent beer but there are a lot that are better for the same price. Well carbonated. Amber colored, and there is a thin layer of foam on top of the beer in my Trappist glass. Lots of malt here. There is the standard fruit aroma, but nothing remarkable about it; lots of sweet malt in the aroma as well. Flavor is malt; there is some sugar and a little fruit, but also chalky dryness.

Oct 2, 2006 BCTC 06 Pours a clear brown color with a thin offwhite head. Decent aroma of malt and candied fruits, there’s some yeast too but it’s subtle. Flavor of dark malt and candied fruits. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and soft carbonation. I’m not too jazzed about this beer.

Jun 14, 2009 Sample at Bodega. This brew is a deep reddish-amber color with a medium thin and creamy light tan head that dissipates steadily. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of berries, yeast and sweet malt. Medium body with flavors of yeast, candi sugar, malt and fruit. Notes of alcohol as well. The finish is ripe fruit and sweet malt with a plum and yeast aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Mar 30, 2007 Bottle: Rusty amber, moderate off-white head, foamy, decent lacing. Rich smoked malt aroma. It doesn’t come across as a smoked beer, but there is a huge smoked/campfire like tinge. Dark pitted fruit takes a back seat in this one. Biting smokiness and almost uber band-aid. I waS sooo looking forward to this one but its proven to be difficult to swallow. There is also a slight cheese funk to it. No real sweet dark pitted fruit in this one. I can honestly say this is one of the first times I am unable to finish a 750ml. Damnit!

Oct 29, 2006 Clear redish-brown body with a small off white head. Aroma is a mix bag of ripe fruits. Thin body with sticky malt caramel holds together various fruit flavours (plums, oranges) and even some vegetables followed by some astringency. Thelonious not Delicious.
