Dec 30, 2008 Pours a dark cloudy brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma of chocolate and roasted nuts. Flavor is complex...dates, banana, figs, nuts, espresso and yeast. A nice, light alcohol burn, but not overly. Palate is slightly fizzy, but exactly as you’d expect for the style. Overall this is an outstanding and complex drink. Loved it.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle from Ledger’s Liquors in Berkeley. This is an extremely balanced and delicious ale. Pours dark brown with a good head and lacing. There’s a decent amount of carbonation with a full and soothing palate. The light and subtle aroma has fruit and yeast and is very inviting. The flavor is deep and complex. I was surprised by the noticeable malt and grain in the flavor in addition to the fruit from the aroma. Alcohol is not so noticeable, with a combination of nuts, spices, malt and fruit taking the foreground. This is a very satisfying and complex ale- overall one of the best ales I’ve tried.

Dec 29, 2008 A cloudy deep brown body with an antique white head, notes of yeast, alcohol, malt, and spice with a bit of plum in the background. Taste is of awesome--very smooth, a bit of fruit, malt, and even raisin. A very complex, enormously rewarding ale.

Dec 29, 2008 750ml bottle - Poured a dark brown color. Taste/smells of dark fruit, maybe a bit of raisen. Very easy to drink for a quad as the alcohol is covered nicely. I’ve had this in the past and continue to enjoy it.

Dec 28, 2008 Poured from 750ml bottle into a Koenings hoeven trappist glass. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a fluffy cream-colored head.
Subtle aroma of alcohol and spice, with a similar taste (layer on a bit of fruit, roasted nuts, and yeast). A very good beer, no doubt, and very accessible even in the Midwest!
