| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 27, 2006 Pours to a hazy copper color with off-white head that lingers through mid-glass, and leaves good lacing. Initial aroma of malt and dark fruits, mostly grapes and figs. Flavor at first is spicy fruit, with malty sweetness. As beer warms at mid-glass, alcohol becomes more evident in both the aroam and the taste. Finish leaves a sweet, syrupy aftertaste, accompanied by an alcohol-induced warming sensation. a good beer for sipping one, but definitely not a session beer. lagermonkey (597), Marietta, Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 26, 2006 Pour’s a hazy rich copper with a half-inch ivory head. Nice persistent lacing. Smell is very fruity and strongly spicey. Lots of apple and plum aromas and a bit sour smelling. Peppery.
Big powerful flavors in this one. Very pronounced alcohol, spicy (white pepper, paprika, etc), caramel and molssess in the malt. Nice drying hoppiness inthe finish. Quite sticky mouth though with a bit of alcohol in the aftertaste as well. A sipper for sure but a damn interesting one.

Cloudy golden-brown body with minimal to no head. Aroma is fruit based, orange, apple, bananna, pear, maybe some light grains such as wheat. Great taste, smooth with the typical Belgian spices mixed in. Nice warm alcohol ending. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 17, 2006 Pours a nice orange color with a good head. The aroma is yeasty and spicey--cloves and coriander smells. The mouthfeel is a little thin but not terrible. The flavors follow the aroma with plenty of bread tastes that are highlighted by notes of citrus and spice. bubbleflubber (890), Collinsville, Virginia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 11, 2006 This one came straight fresh from the brewer. Definite citrus and spice on the nose, as it pours a hazy caramel, with a large creamy dreamsicle head... very nice retention and lacing. Lots of citrus and sweet malt/caramel, with integrated spice hops and mild peppered astringency. Very warming mouthfeel... alcoholic. It opens up extremely well as the beer warms, giving way to clove overtones and canteloupe hues. Nice brew here. Complex and indicative of style.
