Bottle shared with Duane and illini08, thanks Duane! Poured a murky brown with nice head. Immediately smelled yeast and some spice. Way too carbonated and the balance resembled a mixture of sparkling wine and beer.

Jun 7, 2008 Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at the April Get Together.
Murky mahogany body that produces a thin, tan head.
spicy roast malt aroma that carries with it some licorice and cola.
Spritz and highly carbonated.
Tasty..

Jun 6, 2008 This is one of the most sour ales I’ve ever tasted! I thought it turned but the bottle says good till 8/2009. Terrible stuff.

May 19, 2008 Bottle, shared at the May 2008 tasting. Thanks Paul. Nose is super spicy - clove, cardamom, yeast. Flavor is spice - yeast, clove, nutmeg, pumpkin, tingly alcohol. Kinda overwhelmingly spiced.

Apr 29, 2008 A dark brown pour almost red with creamy off white head. Flavor is dark hard molasses with a hard charging flavor that cleans your mouth like licorish but its not really licorish. Overly carboanted for me even beyond the style. An unusual beer that in small quantities is very drinkable.

Apr 27, 2008 A- Pours deep jet black with a chestnut brown head that is massive and leaves nice lacing when it dissipates.
S- Sweet, Floral and hints of alcohol.
T- The taste starts off sweet and finishes with a very distinct dark rye taste. Belgian taste is very evident in this brew.
M- This beer is very carbonated and somewhat thin, very refreshing.
D- This is highly drinkable for the 9 percent alcohol content. I could sip on this all day.
