| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Dark brown and highly carbonated, hardly any head. Aroma is very deep and complex. In order of decreasing prominence: Dark fruit, alchohol, leather, cigar smoke, licorice/aniseed. Ripe fruit is more prominent in flavour. Vanilla becomes present. Very thick and warming. Alcohol becomes slightly cloying. Idealy it should be consumed with/as a desert. patrickfannon (292), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 13, 2009 100th RATING!! i am a virgin to this holy beer and have waited a while for this one. it is not disappointing me at all!! Pours a deep, dark murky brown with lots of yeasty floaties and a nice beige head. aroma of alcohol, raisins, plums, pears, prunes, and the list goes on. tastes mostly like the smell minus the alcohol is well hidden until the somewhat burn of a swallow. notes of vanilla, flavored malts, and figs also. wonderfully balanced and super smooth. lives up to the hype for sure!! zvikar (424), Tel-Aviv, Israel

Aromas of fruit and wine with a faint alcohol hint. Flavors very rich, sweet raisin and fruit, with a bit of alcohol burn. Gentle bitter aftertaste, but lots of sweet, too. Thick, velvety mouthfeel. Looks great and tastes great too. Belgians4Me (6), Arkansas, USA does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Wow, crazy Robust-Aroma! Smooth on the way down and then, BAM, it hits you. Very powerful aftertaste. Lots of flavor, warm alcohol feel, but not overpowering. It was like there was a party in my mouth. I wanted to take a break after each drink...and party! I’ve never had a beer like it. It definitely is an experience that’s worth the price. I split it with a friend and trust me, half a beer was plenty! Like an old Batman episode. Pow!
