May 23, 2009 Pours dark brown into a trappist glass. Tan micro head with good retention leaves spot lacing as it recedes to skim rim. Mild dusty pit fruit aromas. Thin with dusty cinnamon and clove upfront. Slight citrus hop in the finish.

May 7, 2009 Tap@Brewpub. Strong aroma of lime, orange and some spices. Brown colour, beige head, good lace. Sweet, light bitter, spices, malty, hint of orange. Sticky mouth feel. Flavourful, too much spices for me.

May 4, 2009 Bottle poured pitch black with a mocha head. Malty at first and then flavor dissapeared quickly and completely. I heard they are using Belgian yeasts but couldn’t taste it. I was left unsatisfied which is unusual for Pike beers.

Apr 7, 2009 On tap at Pike in Seattle. Color was a dark and deep reddish brown. Aroma was a bit lighter than I expected; some cocoa, nuts, and sugar. Flavor was more sweet; fruity, yeasty, with some brown malt elements. Not much hopping here. Solid beer.

Mar 25, 2009 On tap at Pike. Pours hazy dark brown with a thin off-white head. Spicy sweet Belgian aroma of candi sugar and yeast, with some hops thrown in as well. Flavor is hoppier and has notes of molasses, chocolate, and banana. Full bodied with a bitter finish.
