Feb 1, 2008 Orange/red mahogany with a nice, golden head. The aroma has sweetness, yeast, dark fruits, malt and caramel, and I find the same notes in the flavour. It has a nice body and balance, and the finish has a light and slightly dry bitterness.

Jan 31, 2008 Poured at the 1/28 Houston tasting. Dingy brown pour with good tan head and nice lacing. Rich vegetable nose...eggplant and celery...mixed with raisins. Flavor has a candied sweetness along with an odd corn and raisin flavor, almost like Raisin Bran. Rather thin and oily, with some heat.

Jan 31, 2008 750 ml bottle shared by Zinister, 5th bottle sampled at the 1/28 Houston tasting. Pour is brownish-orange with a one inch off-white head. Aroma of vegetables (celery, carrots) dark raisins, some candy sugar sweetness. Taste is raisin-molasses, some of the candy sweetness, which lingers a bit too long. Mouth coating, despite a fairly thin body. Interesting, but not extraordinary. Thanks for sharing Mike.

Jan 21, 2008 750ml bottle from O’Brien’s bottle shop. Brew poured a murky brown with a medium sized off white head, some lacing. Spice, herbs, hops, and bread in the nose. Mostly oily mouth feel, with some bitterness on the finish. Another great brew from Urthel!

Jan 17, 2008 Dark brown pour with a half-inch off-white head. Earthy, yeasty aroma of malt, raisins, biscuits. Flavor is dark malt with a heavy dose of yeast. Saaz hops are an interesting touch, imparting a sour coppery note to the nose and the flavor. Sweetnes up front with a sugary finish. Very nice.

Jan 11, 2008 Bottle from trade with Quake1028. Thanks John! Pours a nice mahogany color with a huge rocky tan head. Aroma of malts, raisins, caramel and spices. Taste is moderately sweet, rather malty with a hint of caramel. Has a bit of a fruity flavor in the finish. I thought this was a nice tasty brew.
ChillCoat (1029), Concord, California, USA
Jan 11, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Vlaemse Label. Very active carbonation. Pours a murky brown color with a frothy, bone colored head. Somewhat bready, sweet malt aroma with some prunes and a hint (slightest hint) of some bubblegum phenols. A rich, c hocolatly dubbel with big caramel, toffee and fruit notes. Charcoal-like dry finish. There’s not much bock-like about this beer; it’s a strange name. I really enjoy the beer.
travita (1851), Frisco, Texas, USA
Jan 4, 2008 Deep ruby color with a thick off-white head. Malty carmel and dark fruit aromas, mainly prune and raison. Thick body and a malty sweet taste.
