Sep 26, 2005 This beer is what Golden Monkey wishes that it could be. Spicy and nice and pungent in the aroma. A nice brown hue with plenty of carbonation. Sweet and nice and thick on the mouthfeel. Overall I really enjoyed this.

Sep 11, 2005 Gushing upon opening. Hazy orange colored. Very sweet nose with obvious caramel and candy notes, though presented in a not unpleasant toasted biscuits frame. Herbal, earthy and remarkably woody undertones hide behind the peppery and estery (apricot, pear, mango) notes. A dryish astringency seems to develop more and more sips after sips, just like the soft tea-like tannins. Medium to full bodied, slick and thick texture, small bubbled carbonation, obvious alcohol. This is 2.5 yr old (march 2003 bottling) and could certainly use another couple of years. Unintegrated booziness, kinda harsh with unpolished yeastiness. A bit too American ultimately if I may say so.

Sep 7, 2005 Updated: Dec 13, 2008[bottle - corked and caged 750 ml] Clear copper pour with a large and fizzy tan head. Very intense and fruity aroma. Lots of dark fruit notes and hints of cherry, figs, caramel, alcohol and spices. The taste is full of different flavors. Spice, cherries, caramel, yeast, alcohol and a slight bitter hop taste at the end. Very warming and very good.

Sep 6, 2005 Huge aroma of figs, spice, alcohol. Overripe fruit coming on strong in the flavor. ABV was surprisingly not detected, except the warmth going down!. For 12%, this was really smooth and good.

Sep 3, 2005 Rich sweet fruity aroma, orange peel, red apple. Sweet fruity flavor, orange and red apple again, mild spice, noticeable alcohol warmth. A little too sweet and syrupy overall but enjoyable Belgian style ale.

Aug 31, 2005 This beer tastes predominantly malty and sweet to me, with a candi sugar flavored finish that must be from the yeast strain if they didn’t add any. Overly carbonated. It’s not bad by any means, but lacks the complexity I expect from the style. Alcohol flavor non-existent in this bottle, but the warming is there. Could use a year in the cellar.
