3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Brown coloured bere with non to little carbonation and a medium off-white head. Rather light, little smokey fruity touched aroma. Full light creamy palate. Finish is bitter roasted, light smokey malty hinted. Special herby with a light bitter ending. Not bad.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Deep dark brown coloured body with a muddy glow and a very thin, fast-dying tan head. Aroma of raisins, smoked peat, malt, caramel and a bunch of dirt & tobacco. Medium-bodied; Assertive malty and peaty flavour at first with a bunch of dirt and earthy flavours and a lot of caramel and sweetness to finish it all off. Aftertaste shows more peat and smoked characters with some malt and a very light spiciness at the end. Overall, a decent beer, not sure what category it truly belongs in, but not a bad beer - just not a great one in an overly defined category. Worth trying if you can find it to sample the breweries special beers. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Liquor Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 11-July-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 20-September-2010.

Bomber. Poured cola brown with a short cap of tan head. The aroma picked up sweeter honey and molasses with some cocoa as it warmed up.. fruity yeast laced throughout.. lightly toasty.. not really sure what this was supposed to be, but it was OK. The flavor found primarily cocoa and molasses at the core, with dry toffee and fruity yeast through there.. hot and a touch medicinal on the finish.. lots of residual sugars too. Medium-plus bodied and increasingly spicy on the palate.. weird stuff.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very dark in color with a tan head. A little bit smoky with a very different flavor. Perhaps tobacco and fruit are in there, maybe some woodiness as well. I can tell that it is a bit strong, but the finish fades. This is one that I may have to come back to and have another try at some day, because I am not sure what to make of it.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Thin head of varying sized bubbles that disappeared almost instantly. Rich malty arome with some dried fruit, raisins, a bit of soy sauce and maybe a bit of smoked peat. Color is a very dark crimson brown. Roasty and smokey flavor up front that dissipates into a strong malty and slightly sweet flavor. Smoke comes back late swallow again. Some herbal notes and more soy sauce. Hides its alcohol very well. FInishes a tad dry and smokey. Not what I would classify as a belgian but still a decent brew.

Poured dark brown with small fizzy tan head. Nose is drum tobacco, char, alcohol, and a bit of smoke and overlying sweetness. Flavor is more tobacco and sweet unbalanced alcohol. I don’t think I finished all of this one.
