From kapppldav123. Thanks for sharing! Pours out black, nearly no head. Smooth choco with barrelwood and some fuity smell. Taste is more a soft version. Malty with barrel wood influences. Low alcoholic. Brown sugar elements. Maybe not the freshest bottle as kappldav123 said?

Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass dark black, small head. Malty-stouty aroma. Starts intense malty, earthy, rusty. Modest dry. But also some washy-watery notes. Finish flat. Probably a bit past its prime. Still okay.

750ml bottle at home. Pours mostly clear dark orange brown with a frothy off-white head. Sweet malts, dark fruits, earth, toasty oak. Full bodied with a delicious warming malty finish. Sorry to see this one go...

It is dark brown with ruby highlights with Belgian lace. It has a frothy brown head. There are aromas of roast, dark fruits, plums, and earthly elements. There are flavors of roast, chocolate, dark fruits, plums, earthly elements, and cherries. It has a heavy feel to it and is highly bitter on the low side. It is a complex ale with complex combinations of malts and hops with yeast with significant alcohol warming.

ours a nice dark reddish amber color. Aromas of fruit, and some other hints, maybe some spices, maybe caramel. Flavor is a bittersweet, malty, and a hint of hops with a nice bittersweet finish.

Dark amber with off white head - Malt, dark fruity and wood in the aroma - Malt body with caramel and some wood flavours - The malt and some dark fruity tones goes into the finish with some hints of bitterness - This was good

12 Mar 2016, bottle. dark syrup. nose is sweet, ready malt with a twinge of sour. med body and moderately fizzy. dry malt, sweet, alcohol isn’t very noticeable. very nice.

Couldn’t believe I had yet to tick this but I did drink a bit too much of this back when it was first released and Ratebeer wasn’t in my bookmarks. Pours a deep burnt umber with a tinge of rusty red. Nose is chewy wheat, some soft baked raisin bread, vanilla and a touch of warm spice. Palate follows with chewy wheat backbone and layers of dark fruit, roasted malts that make me think of german beers like Aventinus but also a doubled up dubbel... unique yet approachable. Dark and flavor packed but still refreshing and chuggable. Great Beer !

Pours clear mahogany with thin, but lasting beige top. Aroma of vanilla takes center stage, surrounded by a light yeasty esters, some rich dark fruit, and just a hint of alcohol. Flavor follows similarly, with a slight sweetness lasting throughout the sip. In addition to vanilla and malt, the flavor finishes with just a slightly woody note, and a lingering sweet. Smooth and enjoyable all around.

Bottled. Pours dark chestnut, tan head. Aroma is raisins, figs, whiskey, really nice dark Belgian. Flavor is similar. Dark fruits, raisins, whiskey barrel adds an element. Nice medium-light carbonation. Really good but maybe not the most memorable beer.
