Good belgian style beer alternative. Good value for the money. much fresher than most of the belgian beer the the us gets.

Drinkable and almost as smooth as the Golden Monkey. I liked this one a lot. A hearty copper color followed by a taste of a gentle, astringent Belgian ale.

A nice dark red color. The aroma is not very powerful, but I think I smell some fruit, perhaps cherries. Dry with good carbination. Tastes of maple syrup with fruit.

Solid American version of a Belgian. Sweet, fruity & caramelly malty aroma, and yummy sweet fruity caramel chocolate flavor. Dry finish, though slightly astringent. Quite a delight.

Sweet spicy-malty aroma -- warm and welcoming. Lovely dark unfiltered copper color. Mildly sour, but flavorful with some residual banana esters. A little too sour and in your face for a gentle Belgian, and a little too subtle for a knock you out American.

I had to re-rate this, since I tried it before tasting Westy and Rochefort. I initially rated it a 4.1. But I really had to re-rate it after trying Weyerbacher Quad, which absolutely blows this stuff away and is comparable to any beer in the world.

Best offering in their lineup,why didn’t they cave age this????

Certainly not the best Belgian Strong ever. However for the price, it is a great beer.

This beer really impressed me with the head on it. Dark color with very little sweetness to me. It doesn’t hide the alcohol though. I need to get a bottle of this and age it for awhile. ;)

Really fruity, goes down smooth, but it seems to lack some true Belgian Strong Ale Qualities. Not too expensive, which is a big plus.
