Bottle at O’briens. Pours with a dark amber-bown body topped by a thick, off-white head with little lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a touch of yeast and a hint of roast. Basically tastes like a belgian double with a touch of roasted malt. Medium bodied and smooth yet a touch dry.

Jul 17, 2008 Hazy dark amber, carbonation, big thick head. Roasted malts, caramel, yeasty, dried fruits, hop finish. Very complex, and I agree with Caesar on what to call it. I was very surprised to see what it looked like when I poured it, as was I when I tasted it.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottled, bought in Belgium. Hazy dark brown color, medium frothy brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, rye, some licorice, hint of coffee. Taste of some dried fruit, coffee and caramel, some rye, bit too yeasty. I would call it a belgian imperial stout, and it seems to be quite difficult to combine these styles. More a sweet stout maybe.
