RomanW70 (284), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Feb 26, 2008 Purs dark brown. Frothy head. Aroma of dark cherries and raisins. Has a vineous quality. Taste is very complex and well balanced. Had it one day after Trappistes Rochfort 10, and it doesn’t shrink in the comparison. Exceptional beer.
Fyrdraca (10), Macon, Georgia, USA Oct 11, 2008 A dark brown, opaque beer with a small, short-lived head. I loved the nutty, fruity taste of this one. The carbonation is good. It’s easy on the palate and goes down easy, though the aftertaste will make you jump a bit. scola21 (2), , New Jersey, USA does not count Oct 10, 2008 Pours well with small head and opaque brown color.full body, thick feel, average carbonation, long finish. Slight bitter aftertaste but pleasant taste. Naka (426), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 8, 2008 Pours an extremely dark brown color with a thick light beige head. Dissipates after a few seconds. The nose is dark roasted nuts, brandy, alcohol, plums, and maybe even some chocolate. The first things I notice about this is the rich body. Very creamy mouthfeel. There is some strong dark fruit flavors, a pretty pronounced alcohol flavor, a nice yeast undertone and a good bitter lingering flavor. Well balanced. Couldn’t have too many, but that is probably better with a 9 % ABV. Pyobon (170), Sydney, Australia Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Very dark brown, almost black with excellent dense head. Pleasant somewhat fruity aroma with hints of marmalade and raisins. Medium body with wonderfull carbonation. Somewhat fruity refreshing foretaste with a rich aftertaste that verges on cloying, almost balanced with some bitterness. A great beer. hirigalzkar (53), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Black with a small but thick head. Kind of shy but nice fruity aroma. Wonderfull taste! Sweet like a belgian blonde and elegant like a barley wine. Complex, yet easy to drink. Sweet and choclatey.
