Oct 13, 2007 Draft at Barcade. I only had a couple sips of this one, but it was sweet malt, fruit, and yeast. Good mouthfeel, and the alcohol was well hidden.

Oct 7, 2007 Bottle, shared. Pours a nice brownish-red color, quickly-dissipating white head. The aroma is malt with dark fruit and apricot notes thrown in. Taste is crystal malt with apricot, dark fruit, and bready characteristics as well. Alcohol dominates the aftertaste, but it thankfully doesn’t overwhelm the beer. Surprised this is called a Belgian Strong Ale here, I thought it was a Quad. Regardless of the style, it’s a very good beer.

Oct 5, 2007 750 ml bottle. Poured a murky amber/brown with a bubbly white head. Strong alcohol aroma coming through, think of beer schnapps, with a slight touch of caramel and some yeast. Spicy alcohol flavor with a slight touch of yeas hidden behind the alcohol. Did I mention the alcohol??? This was a let down.
