Jul 26, 2009 Bottle Pizzeria Uno - Poured a caramel brown. Instant smell of fruit and malt. Somewhat strong, yet smooth. Actually reminded me of Palo Santo. Good beer, definitely not a session beer though.

Jul 22, 2009 Very malty smell when you pop the cork. Heh, corks on all these "beers", its really kind of funny. Color is dark caramel. Head is 2 inches and thick tan, and holds well. Caramel, malt, alcohol, and dark berry fruit aroma, like strawberry. Smooth beginning, rough middle, and smooth finish. Flavors are dark plum, cherry, chocolate, cinnamon, mineral, and toffee. A little bittering hops are present. The beer is very, very dry.

Jul 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours reddish brown coloured with a small light brown head. Nose is caramel, chewing gum, blackberries, chocolate and dried fruit. Dry flavour with notes of licorice, berries and some molasses sugar. Great!

Jul 17, 2009 Just a great tasting beer. Very easy to drink and at 9.8% alc you’re left with a smile on your face after your first 25oz bottle. If you try it you’ll like it.

Jul 14, 2009 Bottle at The Winking Lizard. Absolutely striking aroma. My friend smelled it across the table and wanted to try it immediately. Overall, the aroma was what made the beer. The taste itself was very good (although not as much cherry Kriek flavor as expected), but the alcohol was a bit too noticeable. Also, worked better solo than with food. But, overall, I was pleased and recommend this beer.

Jul 14, 2009 3 Phils arrived in the glass with appropriately three fingers or so worth of a foamy light brown head on top of a body of dark brown, indeed almost black. Very little aroma to speak of, however the taste was far better, featuring what I thought to be coffee, chocolate and spices for sure. Mouthfeel was moderate. Finish was good, although on the sweet side. I found this a hard beer to review but far, far easier to drink! A good beer.

Jul 13, 2009 Weak aroma like most Belgians. Alcohol and candy sugar. Small head retreats quickly. Flavors of apples and burnt sugar. Bubbly champagne style carbonation. This was fantastic. Better then any Rochforte or Westmalle I’ve had!
