Bottle shared by SpringsLicker on 1/26/07: Pours a murky, mostly still mahogany with a thin ring of off-white head. Aroma of spices, some dark caramel malt and a touch of dark fruits. Body starts fairly full and viscous with a light sweetness, drying toward an earthy spiced and slightly fruity finish. An interesting and enjoyable brew.

I think my thanks go out to argo0 for bringing this to me a while back. Strangely, this bottle’s label says "store on side" yet it is a normally capped bottle and this one was stored upright in my refrigerator so I have so noted it for those who wish to know all of the little details that might pertain to the score I have given this beer. Pours with a thin white head over a brown body. Dark caramel and spice aroma. The flavor profile is mostly heavy dark caramel but with very little expected Belgian, farmhouse, BDG or any other flavor that I’ve ever encountered with a beer in this style.

Dark, murky brown with a small head. The aroma is dried fruits, caramel, and a bit of alcohol. Not really all that belgian.

Bottle (thanks argoO). Color is very dark, visible particulate matter, medium tan head. Aroma is spice, fruit, and slight chocolate. Flavor is malty with slight yeast and hops. Warming at end, and fruity.
