| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 7, 2008 From tap at Stone Bistro. Pours dark brown with an orange glare and a small lacing tan head. Spiced and slight roasted malt aroma. Fruity and mailty flavour - goes into a smooth chocolate flavour. Remains smooth and is joined by a mild spice note into the finish. Lovely. savnac (455), Palmer, Alaska, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2008 22oz bottle consumed on 8/6/08. I bought a case when it came out and drink one every six months. It’s been getting better with age. Sweet malty spicy aroma. Dark brown color with a small head. Taste is very complex, roasted malty with lots of different spicy accents. Very unique brew from Stone, try it if you get the chance. gunhaver (1044), Tampa, Florida, USA

On draft at Stone. Pours a dark brown with reddish highlights, with a creamy tan head and creamy wet lacing. Smells of sweet apricot, some chocolate, and applesauce. Flavor is sweet with some dark candy, brown sugar, and light caramel. And pretty spicy overall. Full-bodied, sticky and drinkable. Looks like this could be even better in a few years. enginaaron (73), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 3, 2008 On tap at Stone for RBSG. Very citrusy aroma with a bright belgian yeast aroma. Very dark in appearance with a white head. Spectacular belgian yeast but not too sweet; rather musty and slightly aged (but still tasted fantastic!) Extremely easy to drink. I really liked this Epic!

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 30, 2008 On tap during Stone Fest (Feb, ’08): This poured a deep amber to brown in color with a thin head that dissipated away. Aromas and flavors were quite malty with flavors of fig, caramel and chocolate. This was medium-bodied with nice richness and on the sweet side.
