tarheels86 (705), Washington DC, USA Nov 8, 2009 750mL. Poured into trappist glass.
This pours a clear strawberry, light red with a thin, off-white head that has no retention and leaves no lacing. Aroma is musty, esters, some spice, sweet light candies. Overall, this is one of the worst beers I’ve tried- it is just so bad. The taste is incredible cloying alcohol, sweet strawberry pancake syrup, sickly sweet stale candies. This was- I’m so sorry to say- a drain pour. patrickfannon (274), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 29, 2009 Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours cloudy orangish amber with a moderate, foamy off-white head. Aroma of cherries, roasted malts, walnuts, grapes, oak, and traces of hops and barley. Full bodied. Medium, smooth mouthfeel. Slight alcohol taste, but it is offset by the nice warming in the finish. Very good Belgian strong from Victory. Jblauvs (534), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Oct 25, 2009 Hazy Orange pour with a thin, lasting white head. Aroma is Yeasty, Some Candi sugars and some spicey fruit. Flavor is sweeter than the aroma, brown sugar and date fruit. A touch of yeast gives it a bit of spiciness. The alcohol is very well masked but gives the beer a robustness. Relatively simple but a good brew Gmoney (250), ManchVegas, New Hampshire, USA Oct 23, 2009 750 ml bottle..hazy light amber pour, thin white head, some lacing.

Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 23, 2009 Thanks thirdeye11. Delicious. I like it. I like it a lot. I didn’t get to it until it was warmer, and I think I was better off for it. DTM (541), Winters, California, USA Sep 19, 2009 Bottle shared with Timfoolery. Pours a cloudy orange color and smelle of sweet malts. Tasted of caramel and holiday spice. Couldn’t even taste the 12% ABV. Well done.
