BOLTZ7555 (1053), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jan 7, 2008 Tastes of brown sugar, caramel, toffee, and dried fruits...a small head floats on top of the mahogony brew...and lacing continues to follow you down the glass. Solid brew...but probably shouldn’t be in the top 10. Flavor improves noticeably as the beer warms but I’ll still opt for a nice glass of Rochefort 8!!! epassa (105), Sao Paulo, Brazil Jan 2, 2008 Rubi to brown color, nice head. Aroma: Plums, toffee, malt, chocolate, nuts. Palate: Malt, chocolate, dry fruits, raisins, spice, dry finish. Fantastic beer. ba2008 (25), USA Jan 2, 2008 This beer poured a dark brown with a ruby tint - thick head and nice lacing. The aroma is malty and somewhat caramel with the alcohol becoming noticeable as the beer warms. The taste is malty and caramel. Cherry flavors are noticeable. mtjoseph (36), Murderapolis, Minnesota, USA Jan 1, 2008 Bottle, courtesy of tytoanderso. Pours a very dark amber with some light head. Notes of malty goodness and fruit on the nose. Nice light carbonation. Long finish on this beer, which is one of its strongest attributes. Well done.

TrefwoordPunk (549), Leiden, Netherlands Dec 28, 2007 Bottle 33 cl at Locus Publicus, Delft. Poured a very dark amber with a medium and fading off-white head and a sweet, malty aroma with hints of ripe fruit and brown sugar. I had this beer right after the Westvleteren 12 and compared to that the taste isn’t that rich and complex. Flavor is malty, but not that overly sweet, with hints of ripe fruits, toffee, peanuts and hops. A longlasting hoppy finish sums up for this great beer. weaselkenievil (738), Cheshire, England Dec 27, 2007 Smells really malty, like an olvatine and biscuit fight in a Warbutons factory. Bottle from Wyn to my brother and on to me. Very good. Great beer, thanks again to our Chopsy.
