Jan 4, 2008 Pours a deep black with a tan head. Aroma is moderate with chocolate and some hops. Flavor is not intense but yet filled with chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit.

Jan 4, 2008 750 ml bottle - pours think black w/ chocolaty colored head that quickly fades to the edges; choco and roasted malt aromas; texture is slightly creamy, but light in flavors’ slightly bitter finish and rather disappointing

Jan 3, 2008 black with medium light brown head. Dark fruit aroma with bitter chocolate. Taste is ver smooth and melow chocolate and belgium yeast. A little bit of burnt coffee. Bitter finish is a bit too much.

Jan 3, 2008 Bottle. I was surprised when I saw an Ommegang on the shelf that I had never had before, and even more shocked that it was 14.00 dollars??! Oh well. Pours out a dark brown color with a tan head on it. Smell is sweet, full of chocolate (surprise..) and a little hint of hops. Taste is smooth and rich, almost like eating a bar of chocolate. Thick and no alcohol detected at all. A very good foreign stout, underrated at best. May get another one to age it, not sure yet. I hope this becomes a regular release.

Jan 2, 2008 Dark dark brown to black with a thick light brown head. Creamy. Cocoa powder? Dry light subtle sweetness, not a lot going on. Creamy full mouthfeel. Light body. Not bad, but not good. Cocoa power in particular sticks out. Not huge flavor. Maybe a slight Belgian twinge. A bit sweet. Not distinctive or really that good. Bitter roast finish.

Jan 2, 2008 Caged and corked, this pours just as you’d expect ... full and black with a red tinge and a full but quickly dwindling top of tan foam. The aroma is thin but hints at a sweet treat. Unfortunately this fails to deliver the oomph that I’d expected in this $14 bottle. I strain to detect just a thin gritty bit of baking chocolate, and otherwise this struggles to compete with the better stouts ... definitely a let down. (#3265, 1/2/2008)
