3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled
Muddy brown color, small beige head. Chocolaty and a bit fruity, propably some notes of oxidation. First impression: anise ... then some licorice, caramel backed with malts. Short finish, alcohol is very well hidden. Very interesting, something similar to Gouden Carolus Christmas. Fabulously balanced.

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.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, 75cl corked. (RBNAG 07) Pours a hazy, orange-brown body, with a dense, beige head. Sweetish, roasted, slightly oxidized aroma and flavor. A bit too oxidized flavor I think. Full-bodied, slightly sourish in the mouth, and quite sticky. A nice beer, but considering it being quite fresh, it shouldn’t taste as oxidized as a twenty year old beer. (071103)

750ml bottle had along with an Allagash Dubbel Reserve. Allagash was a smoother, creamier drink. Good flavor as it went across the palate, but didn’t care for the finish/aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a haze red-brown colour with a nice big beige head leaving a good lacing. Sweet aroma of dark fruits, caramel and some spice. Great mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with well toasted malt, dried raisins and prunes, spices, toasted malt, bitter hops and yeast. Tasty brew indeed!

[thank you, drmatt]
Pours deep red with a giant frothy/creamy beige-brown head. Aroma has loads of caramel and dried, ripe fruits. Some light yeasty tartness with toffee and dry grassy hops. Lovely creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is wonderful, light tart, very dry, some plums and toffee. Really nice brew.
