| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 24, 2008 A delicious and great Belgian beer. I’ve always loved St. B and was looking forward to trying this. Aroma was nice and full. Strong dark caramel, fruit, spice and yeast. Pour was a perfect deep murky dark brown with a 3 finger off white head. Taste was very unique and delicious. Strong biting yeast, dark fruit and a hint of banana. After the swallow there is a strong caramel aftertaste. Almost as caramelly as Saranac Caramel Porter. Strong carbonation rounds out this great beer. Tmoney99 (4702), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Poured hazy copper color with a large light brown head that lasted with good lacing. Very complex herbs and yeasty banana aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Full complex fruit and spicy sweet flavor with solid sweet finish of moderate duration. Very good brew. craftbeerdesign (744), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 21, 2008 11.2 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Pours a murky brown color with a slight off-white head. Aroma is of toffee and dark fruit. Nice malty taste with hints of brown sugar, maybe. Somewhat dry in the finish with some bread and lots of carbonation at the swallow. Good beer, but not Bernardus’s best. v64 (74), Austin, Texas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 21, 2008 Strong, immediately noticeable aroma, quite fruity. Very little head. Pours an interesting color, murky light brown. The fruit fully comes out in the taste, raisin like, definite dark fruit flavor. A bit too much carbonation for my taste. Even so, a delicious beer that I’ll be back for more of in the future. soyorganic (217), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 17, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown color with a rasinish aroma. Very smooth medium carbonation, lightly sweet brown sugar flavor. I had the Prior 8 last night and it spoiled me, this seems like a junior version of that. 17thfloor (1447), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 13, 2008 Updated: May 14, 2008Pours dark murky brown with a large frothy creamy beige head. Great cinnamon and brown sugar aroma, nutty and vinous. Flavor is fluffy cinnamon and brown sugar coated green apples. A little bit vinous and a tad nutty. Candied malt, some banana and also dried fruits. Flavors are not particular strong and finish with a hint of alcohol. Extremely fluffy mouthful, a little bit too much too swallow. Similar to Witkap-Pater single.
