IlanMan (816), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Jun 21, 2008 Pour was dark brown with a fizzy light tan head. Aroma of malt, dark fruit, sweetness, and a lot of yeast. Flavor was thick and real sweet with a strong floral character. Alcohol was hidden pretty well. Smooth brew. Would probably buy again and let age for a while. Hudspart (371), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA Jun 20, 2008 Bottle: Pours amber with a fairly thick head. Aroma of yeast and fruits. Flavor of fruits, malt and hops. Very good. ReademNwheat (174), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 19, 2008 I normally dont go for belguim style beers but maybe I’ve been trying the wrong ones because this one was great. Dark fruit and malty goodness, with an almost wine-like character. solid mouthfeel with a hint of warming alcohol. great beer. amishcaravan (237), Winona, Minnesota, USA Jun 18, 2008 scent is of fermented fruit and malts. very dense beer with some sediment on the bottom of the glass. taste is very smooth. finish is smooth as well. Alcohol is pretty well hidden as well. I would purchase this again. urraca (44), New Jersey, USA Jun 18, 2008 My first quad. And I picked a good one. I really didn’t know what to expect from this style. But I was instantly delighted by it. Poured a dark brown, with a light tan head. Sweet with ah int of dark fruit, and malty. Not hoppy at all. BlackMail (55), Evergreen, Colorado, USA Jun 17, 2008 Poured dark red with a bubble head , short lived. Taste malty with a carmel falvour. Oscbert (531), Sacramento, California, USA Jun 17, 2008 ~Pours a dark reddish brown with nice sized brownish head. Some chunks floating in the beer.
~Aroma of fruits, mainly banana and fresh apples. Some yeast spiciness. Smells fresh.
~Sweet flavor. Fruits definitely present, some raisin and plums. Sugary caramel and alcohol. Somewhat salty.
~A nice feel on the tongue. Quick and crisp. Finish has a sweet bitterness to it.
~This is a good beer. Probably wont buy again. It’s a little sweet for me to really enjoy. I’m glad I got the opportunity to try this famous beer though. sleepylopes (313), New York, USA Jun 17, 2008 nice looking overall but the head was not very good when you consider the body and carbonation of the beer. Nose and flavor match, conserves of blueberry and straberry rubarb pie. The beer did have a touch of refreshing bittering. Nice ballance leaving just a touch of the %10.5 in the back. World class with deep roots.
