Oct 10, 2008 It’s alright. Malt is rather sweet and sugary-decent. Too much alcohol. Rather harsh. Finishes remarkably dry. Pepper. Lighter fruits.

Oct 10, 2008 Dark amber pour, with a lively lingering white head. Aroma is burnt sugar sweet, malt, and strawberries. Flavor is berries, alcohol, pepper and caramel. Pretty intense stuff. The mouthfeel is the standout here - full bodied, yet crisp and clean. Solid overall.

Oct 6, 2008 Pours a dark amber with a large cola-like head. Fruity spicy yeasty aroma with a bit of alcohol and slight raspberry. Interesting play on Belgian flavors, yeasty with malt that is toasted, slightly burnt and a bit sour, with this unique hard-candy understated sweetness. Burnt toast and raspberry hard-candy finish with some lasting bitter yeast. This stuff is so odd and yea it does remind me a bit of a triple. Very light sticky body with abrasive carbonation. So strange... almost like a "Belgian" ESB or maybe Southern Comfort diluted with Rolling Rock, yup, thats it.

Oct 4, 2008 crisp hop aroma, clear citrus note. Pours a sightly hazy amber brown, with a nice tan head. Well carbonated. Delicious balance of sweet & bitter. Has a nice caramel finish leaves the mouth with velvety feeling. This is a powerful beer that will pleasantly surprise with its balance and flavour.

Sep 27, 2008 This is a nice very aromatic beer. It pours a cloudy copper with a 3 mm lacing of copper toned white head. The palate is nice creamy like for this type of beer.
Actually the most disappointing part of this beer is the flavor. It is good and worth the 6 I gave but no more. After taking a whiff of this beer I really thought it was going to be a 9, but it is a little too sweet for my liking like apricots some hops and a little yeast. Very good beer - a little less sweetness would make it great.

Sep 22, 2008 Lovely copper pour with lace but small head. Alcohol is there, but not prominent. Aroma of hops and yeast. Hops abundant in the mouth with a pronounced sweetness. The background has some fruit, but not much. Suger and hops pervade with some hints of dried apricots with golden raisins. Not spot on, but not bad.

Sep 7, 2008 750ml bottle courtesy of Swolf3, thank you Steven. Dark amber/orange pour, nice white head. Nice aroma. Big flavor, a little alcohol in the back, very tasty.

Aug 31, 2008 Orange bourbonesque look to this, with a thin head. Many aromas. Bananas, dried dark fruit, brown sugar, a somewhat sour yeasty aroma. Palate is many things all at once. Tingly with small bubbles, sweet, sour, dry, how can it be sweet and dry? Layers of taste with the sugar winning sometimes and the delicate hops other times. Very well made. Very much like the doppelbock style though I doubt any of those are at 12%abv.
