Sep 29, 2009 Bottle: Poured a golden amber color with a white head. The aroma was malty, dark fruits and spice. The flavor was the same but with a tad bit more sweetness. Overall, a high quality brew.

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.

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.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle courtesy of thirdeye11. Clear orange red. Sweet smells surround this. Sweet malts with a bit of cinnamon spice. Taste is smooth, real smooth. The sweet malts surround this in the best kind of way. This is very tasty!

Sep 11, 2009 Pours a white/tan head that doesn’t last too long. Aroma has slight hints of fruit. Beautiful deep red-orange color when put to a light. A little bitter, but the hops work nicely. Nice finish.

Sep 1, 2009 Reddish-amber with golden tints, rocky white head is soon gone with the wind leaving a mottled white surface. It smells Belgian. The taste is thick, sweet, fruity, and delicious, wow! The alcohol is not really detectable overtly but the thickness and sweetness make me sure it is strong. This is an excellent beer and possibly the best I have had from Victory.

Sep 1, 2009 Corked and caged bottle from City Beverage in Winston-Salem. Shared with some confused friends who had never seen a beer packaged in such a way. They took a break from their "triple hops brewed, great pilsner taste" Miller Lite for this beer, and I think what they experienced was an epic smackdown after which Miller Lite will just never satisfy them again. For them, it was sort of like hooking up with Megan Fox after having being stuck on a desert island with the nasty, crazy, stretch-marked Octomom for 10 years. This beer reminded me of St. Bernardus Abt 12, which is saying something. I would call this a Quad BTW, not a Belgian Strong Ale. Pours a cloudy dark mahogany-brown color with a lasting off-white head. Aroma is awesome with caramel, candi sugar, dark fruits, spices, and Belgian yeast. Flavor is malty and somewhat sweet with caramel, fig, raisin, date, spices, candi sugar, mild hops, and alcohol. Incredibly non-boozy for a 12% beer though. Palate is medium-full with lively carbonation. If I didn’t know better, I might think this was brewed by Trappist monks. Chalk it up as a victory for Victory.
