Skeegle (293), USA Apr 8, 2008 This one was far too yeasty for my tastes, but still a very pleasant brew. It had a hotdog taste to it that was very subdued, but coming from a finer BSA it stuck out like a sore thumb initially. I didn’t notice it too much after drinking for a few sips. The nose smells like hotdogs throughout though, like Blue Moon does, and that draws down significantly on this one in my book. Overall, just an average beer for me.
glennmastrange (368), hobe sound, Florida, USA Jul 17, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of cereal and roasted, light perfume for the hops and moderate soap, barnyard and musty for the yeast, with date and clove inn the background. Head is small, fizzy white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is a greyish red/brown. Flavor starts moderately sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly bittersweet and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a fizzy carbonation. A nice Belgian Strong, just too fizzy and a spiciness that’s not my favorite. FunkyBrewster (100), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 16, 2008 Pours a dark orange, almost brown with an off-white frothy head. Aroma is malty and raisin/plum fruitiness with some sweet caramel notes. Flavor starts with some sweet caramel malt with some tartness in the finish. Some nice earthy tones with dark fruit flavors. Medium to full body and nice thick mouth feel. Overall really nice fullness to it and refreshing for it’s heavier body and higher alcohol. gerardoluna (55), Mexico Jul 14, 2008 This "damned one" was amazing. strong in mouth, full in nouse and deep in eyes, the head is poor for this style [BSA], the finish is bitter and the after taste dry. GooOooOoooOod One for me! enjoy it with pat metheny back. Soonah (454), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Jul 14, 2008 The pour was clear brown with some darker ruby swirling through. The head was off-white, fizzy initially but became somewhat creamy towards the end. Spots of lacing. The aroma was yeast, malt, licorice and light tart fruit. The flavor was yeast, juicy fruit gum, licorice and malt. The mouthfeel was thin to medium, an easy drinking beer that isn’t nearly as intimidating as the bottle would lead you to believe. daniele (621), Italy Jul 13, 2008 ambrata carica buona sxhiuma piuttosto persistejnte aromi piuttosto intensi fruttati in bocca copro medio frutta buona luppololatura una leggera speziatura piuttosto persistente
