Sep 20, 2009 Bottle. Poured rather fizzy with a lot of carbonation and a lot of head. Dark brown in color with lots of sediment and flakes floating around. Smell was bold fruitiness with a noticeable alcohol presence. Taste was dark fruits, plums, malts, and a little bit of butterscotch taste as it warmed up. A little hard to drink at first due to all the carbonation, wasn’t very pleasant at first until it settled down. Noticeable alcohol heat when drinking. Overall pretty good though.

does not count  Sep 20, 2009 This one is good. A bit strong, but the soft fruitiness balances well with the alcohol. Sweetness comes through. Drinkable.

Sep 20, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer market stall. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aromas of bananas, toffee, vanilla, juicy fruit, caramel. Flavours of toffee, caramel, dark fruits, coffee, chocolate. Wow! Finishes big, bad and bold with a wonderful sweet warming finish. Holy smoke! This was a fine brew!

Sep 19, 2009 Inutile spendere molte parole per questa birra, conosciuta da tutti. Una delle mie preferite. Scrivere una recensione su questa birra è come farlo per Dark side of the moon dei Pink Floyd.... non serve..
Da provare assolutamente

Sep 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark, murky brown with big foamy beige head that fades slowly and is noticeably unfiltered. Initial aroma is a lot of chocolate, some coffee and belgian yeast. Taste is nice roasted coffee, some dark chocolate undertones, and throughout the glass I got a hint of wintergreen. Very complex, smooth, and sweet. I didn’t really taste the alcohol, but I felt it after the second sip Ƒst beer of the night). Very pleasant brew.

Sep 15, 2009 Bottle... Poured deep, dark reddish/brown with a thin, light brown head. Aroma of dark fruits such as plums and raisins with a big ester/yeast quality. Thick, full palate with a delicate carbonation. Noticeable vanilla flavors up front for me. Not much going on with hops here, dark malt sweetness with some fruits. A wine-like booze character in the finish.

Sep 15, 2009 My Goodness! Perfection!
Pours a beautiful dark cloudy brown, with a bit of tan head, some lacing. smell is of fermented fruits, grains, almost brown sugar, with warm alcohol notes. taste is artfully balanced between the grains, yeast, and fruit notes. Mouthfeel is full-bodied yet not too heavy. Probably the most flavorful and well balanced beer that I have ever had! aftertaste is pleasant and warm.
