Aug 27, 2008 Party Source growler. Poured Dark, murky brown with thick beige head. Aroma is dark fruits, malt, a little bit of yeast, and alcohol. The flavor is very typical of Belgian-style ale. I enjoyed it.

Aug 27, 2008 750ml. courtesy of Paul. Dark ruddy amber pour with a brown tinted quickly fading head. You can smell the kriek and malt sweetness in the nose. Sweet and fruity with a slight hint of bitterness. Nice quad!

Aug 26, 2008 Growler shared by bigmmartin. Dark burgundy brown with a small head. Lots of dark fruit in the aroma. Very sweet with a slight touch of vinegar. Full bodied feel and low carbonation. Extremely drinkable and enjoyable without being complex.

Aug 24, 2008 Growler from Party Town tap. Dark brown beer with ruby hues and a beige head. Smells of raisins, plums, rich malt, and alcohol...as well as a few hints a red wine aroma. Flavor is deeply malty with lots of dark fruits and a little oak. Very little bitterness. The alcohol might be a bit too present but I don’t mind. An enjoyable Belgian representation.

Aug 21, 2008 Nice red color with a large bubbly head. Not bad by any means. The flavors meld well together. I like the boosiness of it too. Not too shabby!

Aug 17, 2008 750 ml corked and caged bottle 2008 vintage poured a clear reddish brown with a lasting creamy tan head with excellent lacing. Aromas of cherry, toffee, carmel, wood, light vanilla and light spice. Palate was full bodied and smooth. Flavors of cherry, cocoa, carmel, toffee, light vanilla and a hint of spice with a smooth lingering bittersweet finish.

Aug 17, 2008 If beer came direct from heaven, this is what it would taste like. (...at least on even days of the week; on odd days it would be Speedway Stout.) Lovely rich sweetness with caramel and slight molasses with strong dark fruit, along with a cherry sourness from the 2% kriek. This is so rich and tasty. Fantastic yeast flavor with tiny champagne-like bubbles. This yeast is very similar to Lost Abbey’s Judgement Day yeast. I simply love this beer...

Aug 16, 2008 A beautiful-looking beer that pours a deep red with a creamy white head. Aroma is sweet, with faint cherries and alcohol. Flavor is astringent, with notes of caramel malt and sweet fruits. The alcohol is readily apparent and really gets to you. I have to agree with the poster below me who called this a "mess". It’s like they tried to blend several different flavors, but didn’t really succeed. It’s respectable, but I just can’t buy in to this beer’s high rating.
