Jun 4, 2007 (bottle - 22 oz) Deep bronze in color with a thick and fizzy tan head. Aroma is very light but most of what I can smell is hops with some light malts. Flavor begins rather hoppy but moves to a brief malt and caramel sweetness in the middle that’s quickly overpowered again by the hops. Bitter and cloying in the aftertaste.

Jun 2, 2007 Dark amber color with a big head. Aroma of floral hops. Flavor is quite hoppy with tones of slightly sweet malts. Thin on the palate with a lasting slightly sour floralness. Get something else, its not bad but not worth it.

May 31, 2007 22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a hazy, orangish brown color, with a sticky tan colored head. Left a decent lacing down the sides of the glass. Aromas are of raisins, prunes, slight rum, yeasty bread. Flavors are kind of grassy. A little too sweet. Earthy hops in the mix. Highly carbonated, but thin & watery body. Finished slightly sweet & grassy.

May 27, 2007 Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a thin, coating of spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet doughy caramel malt with a hint of butterscotch and citrus. Body starts fairly full, and lightly sweet, but dries out toward a bittering hoppy, slightly earthy finish with a hint of tartness and warmth. It seems like it wants to be a Belgian strong ale, but isn’t sweet enough, and seems overly bitter.

May 26, 2007 The beer pours a murky, orangish brown with a thick, soft, speckled beige head that lasts almost forever and sticks to the glass in heavy lace. The aroma is malty and complex: spicy malts, fruit, toffee, and hints of bubble gum and cinnamon. The flavor follows the smell: excellent malt backbone with a little yeast, and some fruit and bubble gum at first. The middle of the tongue picks up some spice, more fruit, a touch of balancing bitter hops, and earthy hop flavor. The beer finishes fairly full-bodied with a pleasant balance of soft, earthy hops and sweet, fruity malts. The after-taste is surprisingly bitter with hops. The mouthfeel is medium in body and well carbonated (without being too bubble). Overall, a very nice beer.

May 26, 2007 Poured a deep, hazy amber, very energetic beer with a dust colored head. Aroma is mostly deep roasted malts. Flavoe is malt chocolate, some hints of fruit.

May 22, 2007 22oz - This was good, with malty goodness and a nice bitter finish. It in no way matched a traditional Belgian profile as the Monk reference had me expecting. Somebody put some care into manufacture.

May 20, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Pours a deep amber reddish hue. 1/2" head almost the same color. Nose was of hops, slightly fruity aroma. Drank this at fridge temp. A bit hoppy at first. A bit on the bitter side. As the brew warmed, the hops calmed down and the brew became less bitter and smoothed out. I did like it and will purchase it again.
