750->Trappist: Pours a large, off-white head on top of a murky, amber body.. Malt aroma is of molasses, hops of flowers, and perhaps some spruce with a light yeast/bacteria aroma. The body is medium, the texture is sticky and there is some carbo. in there. The flavor’s duration is short, being lightly sweet.
I would definitely consider this an indulgence beer, not only based on its body, but as well its alcohol content. Good creation by Victory, but not their best IMO.

Jul 21, 2008 sampled with the phoenix crew. pours a hazy dark amber with a small white head that fades to a ring and remains there. fruity aroma though i’m not sure which fruit it is... lots of floral warming yeast, brown sugar, spices and some alcohol burn. the flavor is a bit savory from the yeast... along with some grainy sweetness, bread, bananas?, pear flesh, grassy/hoppy, earth and a dry spice filled finish. alcohol vapors pour out of me as the bready yeasty goodness lingers in the aftertaste. medium to full bodied. the texture is thick and somewhat gritty with the yeast mixed in...

Jul 20, 2008 Pours a orange brown. Yeasty, buttery, fruity, and musty in the nose. Big time malts with a bit of heat. Butterscotch, spice and some esters. Real tasty.

Jul 19, 2008 Very good. Bottle from Gaslight in South Orange, NJ. V-12 says it all - 12%alc/vol. Smells just like grape juice. Palate last forever with flavor of alcohol and sweet juice.

Jul 14, 2008 Light fruity nose, with hints of sweetness. Pours a reddish-amber, with very visible carbonation, and a big fluffy slightly off-white head. Flavor is slightly sweet, with hints of yeast, but comes across hot. Some time letting this settle may help it out some.
