Mahogany with big, foamy tan head / Winey nose of pit fruit and tobacco / Full bodied, Unibroue fizzy, with big malts, and long finish / Complex flavors of tobacco, banana, orange, toffee, wood, cinnamon, clove, and coriander / As always, not fond of the Unibroue fizzy body, but the flavor on this is extraordinary.

Oct 12, 2008 Poured a dark tannish color with a small fluffy with head. Kinda foggy. Real sour tasting. Sweet maltiness. Dark fuits in the flavor.

Oct 12, 2008 Bottle... Murky caramel-colored ale with a large, frothy, khaki head. Excellent, small, creamy, mushroom cloud-like retention. Weeping lacework. The complex aroma can be described using all these words: vinous, woodsy, acidic, earthy, malty, herbal, spicy, Flemish, perfumey, praline and dark fruits. Throw all those against a wall and they’ll stick. Medium to full-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Sweet; but sufficiently bitter and tart to maintain balance. Woodsy, funky and Flemish. Lengthy, moderately sweet finish.

Oct 11, 2008 Dark brown pour with a small tan head. Wood flavor with yeast and coconut(?), wood, and vanilla. Nicely complex and some super spice flavors. Did not expect coconut. Pleasant zest. Almost with the best of its breed.

Oct 11, 2008 Courtesy of oh6gdx. It’s red-brown with a creamy head. The aroma is rather complex with notes of spice, oak, vanilla and pumpkin. The flavour has sweetness and notes of alcohol, vanilla, oak, spice, caramel, raisin and pumpkin. It’s complex, but needs maturing to develop the full potential.
