Jul 20, 2008 Man that smells good! Malts, raisin, beery and a bit of smoke. Dark brown clear pour with little head. Watery at the start but full at the end. Very malty, some spice, something clove like in the finish. A pretty nice mix but could be sweeter and more consistant but still very nice. Nice to know it’s a local as well. Oh, there is something in the aftertaste that is a little too tart and a bit mediciney. Really wish that wasn’t there, it pretty much kills the beer.

Jul 12, 2008 Pours a dark-red brown, with no head and the least amount of carbonation I have ever seen. Aroma is a wierd mix of breads, dark fruits and what I can only describe as cooked gelatin for anyone who has ever worked in a lab. Flavour isn’t much better with artifical, chemically tasting sweetness and spices followed by a slightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel is way too thin for the style.

Jun 11, 2008 yennement amer de rôti et de houblon herbeux.
Trafalgar abbey belgian: Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur brune-rouge foncée et claire. Nez de levures fruitées (prunes), d’épices (coriandre, traces de muscade), moyen de malt légèrement rôti, léger de sucre brun et avec des notes de houblon herbeux, de pain et de chocolat. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture moyennement huileuse, légèrement crémeuse et aqueuse. Léger goût de levures fruitées (prunes, traces de raisins) accompagné d’un goût épicé (coriandre, traces de clou de girofle et de muscade) et de notes de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût malté de caramel sucré et léger-moyen rôti ainsi que des notes de pain, de chocolat et de sucre brun puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) ainsi que des traces de noix asséchantes. Post-goût moyen aux petites notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux, de rôti avec des notes de chocolat, de levures fruitées (pelures de prunes, notes de moût de raisins) et de noix.

May 3, 2008 22 oz bomber. When I tried to open this the whole cap and neck of the bottle came off in my hand... looks like it broke clean so hopefully I don’t swallow shards of glass. If I do though, blame these bastards. Deep brown beer with very light carbonation. Aroma is nutty and oxidized with lots of coriander and an aroma that reminds me of the bad old days at Trafalgar. A touch of plum and prune, but the infection has really taken this over leaving a thin sour mess of a beer. Blech.

Apr 26, 2008 Thanks to Samayoa. Pours a deep burgundy color. Medium bodied, very spicey at the beginning then sweet at the end. More like a scotch ale.
