Sep 9, 2007 Pours a deep, dark mohagany color into the trappist glass. There was a nice inch head that stuck around, and provided a perfect, sticky lacing on the sides of the glass. The scent was raisins, figs, alcohol, malt and dried fruit. There was a nice quad taste with big rushes of flavor, mostly raisins and malt. There is a slight alcohol burn in the finish. A very nice quad.

Aug 31, 2007 Bottle. Pours a chestnut brown with a hint of red. Big fluffy off-white head. Aroma is sweet, dried, dark fruit. Very thick, full mouthfeel. Figs, raisins, dark malts. Hides the alcohol extremely well. Tastes great, but it’s a tad one dimensional.

Aug 19, 2007 Explodes out of bottle and takes 25 minutes to pour a five+ finger very light tan head that stays forever leaving a good lace. Almost clear amber color. Strong carbonation and heavy bodied. Sweet caramel/raisin nose. Flavor is a balanced sweet fruity/raisin and hops. Caramel finish. High ABV is hidden but it is warming. One of the rare beers that I don’t find anything wrong with it. Pricey (but worth it to try) at $13.00 for a 750ml corked bottle from Tully’s Beer and Wine Wells, ME.

Aug 16, 2007 Murky brown pour, huge white head. Aroma of candi sugar, caramel, and perfumy. Big candi sugar sweetness, lots of crystal malts, and belgian spices. Some banana, brown sugar, mollasses, light fruits, some chocolate. Pretty sweet, sugary, and alcohol warmth. Perfumy, apples, cloying sweetness, and more sugar. What a great beer.

Aug 12, 2007 Blah. Did I get a bad bottle? Aroma was pleasant but stale. Caramel and dark fruits. Pour was a flat light brown with no head at all. Taste was uncarbonated...same texture as a Guiness. Flat as water. Hot caramel and dark fruits in the taste, but that’s about it. Strong alcohol burn in the aftertaste. Nothing complex. The lack of any carbonation and the reviews below me tell me this beer is actually carbonated and I had a flat bottle. Must re-rate.
