Jun 25, 2007 Great looking cloudy rich dark brown color with deep red tones. One cm thick white head. Deep molasses and Belgian malt aromas. Raisin, plum, coriander, mild cloves on the taste. Surprised by the complexity of this one. Very rich smell and taste, but not too heavy.

Jun 25, 2007 330. Pours a deep dark brown with a towering, fluffy, sudsy white head. Lots of clingy lace. Big malty sweet husky grain nose with some old wet leaves funk and maybe a little bit of basement thrown in there. Soft carb on the attack, medium body, very clean and drinkable, restrained flavors--nice, well-modulated attack.Rich, earthy, deep and dark flavors all over the mid-palate; delicious and drinkable. Very restrained finish to say the least, not much going on there. Really nice stuff.

Jun 21, 2007 Sampled from a 330ml bottle. Murky brown hue. Beige head. Surprising citrus nose. Touch of cinnamon. Medium bodied and toasty. Sweet malts. Mild finish. Solid and short. Brown sugar smoothness. Slight burn. Lively with a good cocoa note. Sweet breads. Very nice and easy drinking.

Jun 20, 2007 Wow, this ale was so smooth! Very well made. Got this one on tap at 33 Winebar in St. Louis. Poured a very dark brown, almost black, with a thick white foamy head. Seemed to have little aroma, and a rather mild flavor (though so well-balanced amongst the malts). A bit sweet, but nothing overpowering at all. Overall, very excellent!

Jun 13, 2007 Nice dark brown color with big, cream-colored head. Lots of malt, well-hidden hops (they can surprise you), lots of dried fruit flavors. Almost like a less intense version of Abt 12.
