Oct 3, 2008 Pours ebony into a snifter. Mocha head leaves sheet lacing. Pine needles, alcohol and fig aromas. Spritzy with sour cherry pit from front to back. Roasty finish. A nice warmer.

Sep 30, 2008 Tap at the Sunswick. Poured brown with a thin brown head. This had a chocolate and stout nose. Flavor followed along those lines. Kind of a creamy mouthful with a medium body. Finish was slightly bitter. Nice belgian stout.

Sep 25, 2008 Bottle enjoyed at Beveridge Place in West Seattle, WA--Poured a deep orange-brown body with a plush milky thick tan head. Caramel, yeasty, honey, molasses, brown sugar, toffee, nut, copper nose. Distinctly Belgian. Lingering metallic chocolate coat on the tongue.

Sep 22, 2008 Pours a deep, dark reddish brown with a thick, light-tan head. Aroma is port wine with a bit of cabernet sauvignon, other sweet fruits and tart cherries, Belgian yeast and a whole heap of sweet malts. Flavor is pleasantly tart, like a good cab with notes of cherries, molasses and a touch of toasty wood to finish. Mouthfeel is perfect - good carbonation, but silky smooth. Wonderfully complex. I’m very impressed.
