Aroma: yummy, wort, julmust, soy, rowan, caramel, some hops, cocoa butter, roasted, sourish, funky yeast.
Flavour: nice, caramel, berryish sweetness, slightly burnt aftertaste, roasted barley, sourish yeast, very peculiar and VERY Belgian.
Appearance: red, murcky brown with yellowish, creamy head. Very special appearance indeed.
Palate: fluffy, soft, lathery.

Hazy dark amber with tiny head. Sweet fruity aroma with yeast, caramel and light roasted malt notes. Sweet yeasty flavor with roasted malt, caramel and overripe fruits. Ends rather sweet.

Bottle. Dark brown pour, decent head. Little lasting carbonation. Still feels slightly rougher than the Belgians, even tasting blind.

Poured a deep reddish color with a light tan head. Aromas of sweet dark fruits, figs, licorice. Malt flavor with hints of raisins and cherries ond some metallic taste. Medium body with a creamy texture, lively carbonation and a dry, bitter finish. Not bad.

Poured using a Trappist glass. A rich dark burgundy pour like port wine with a nice foamy head. Different mix of aromas that carries into the pallet. Fruits, smoky caramel toffee and chocolate notes. Rich and creamy, strong and complex. There is a bit of alcohol bite throughout. Nice dry aftertaste nothing really bitter or overly sweet. Really great strong ale from New York no less.

Bottle. This is awesome. Pours a rich burgundy-brown. Billowy head gives way to a delicate lace. Candi on the nose. I love the complexity. Caramel, spice and a nice carbonation. Gots to have more.

Bottle. Poured into a large snifter. Fruit arouma and a beautiful reddish brown body with a dark tan head. Very complex flavors. The carmel malts seem to dominate and like others have said its a bit to sweet. A little more hop would be good. Not quite in leaque with Rochfort , but not far off either.
