4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Aroma is a fruity yeast scent. Color is solid hazy burnt orange with good carbonation and a thin tight head. Taste is fruity, creamy and clean. Starting with a full body it goes down with a foamy feel that gives it a creaminess. Finish comes in with bold dry fruit flavor (raisin and prune), then a tiny spicy flavor and a nice Belgian yeast taste. There is an alcohol feel in the after taste along with a mild bitterness that balances out the sweetness and lets it end clean. This is a fabulous Belgian style, I love this brewery everything I have tried by them has been great.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2008 Aroma just barely above average in presence; really need to take a good strong whiff to get the scent, mostly of malts. Head and lace are minimal to non-existent, while the color is an unremarkable murky tan. Flavor is good at masking the high alcohol, which as a nice warming effect, but lacks complexity. Mouthfeel is about average. A decent beer, and one of the most quaffable for such high ABV, but I’m a bit surprised at the 96th percentile scoring...

Banana ester and malt right on the nose. Candy like. Colour is pretty pedestrian tan. Alcohol considerably well hidden for a 12 considering a lack of complexity. Almost feels like I’ve had this beer before elsewhere? Blithering Idiot perhaps... only lighter.

The alcohol is very well hidden and it has a malty sweetness with hints of citrus that makes it an easy drinker but the complexity isn’t here.

Appearance was a cloudy copper color with a big white head after being poured from a 750-ml bottle.A heavy alcohol smell dominates. It has the taste of pepper and ripe fruits, but the alcohol commands the most notice.

750ml bottle from Bevmo Carmel Mountain. Rusty brown in color with a hint of orange. Head was like a traditional Belgian, big and rocky, then dissipates to almost nothing. In the nose I found an abundance of sweet fruits, yeast and alcohol. On the pallet, your lips almost sting from the alcohol, in a good way. A big strong finish from this beer.

Murky and brown, looks like muddy water. Smells sweet and fruity. Strong alcohol taste with sweet fruits and lots of effervescence. Not bad.
