Jan 3, 2008 aroma is of strong caramel and some fruit. Almost thinking raisins. Lots of sediment in the glass after the pour. You can see it floating around when the glass is put up to the light. The taste is of caramel and fruit with a sweet after taste. Light carbonation makes this very smooth going down. Purchased at Bodega in LaCrosse, WI.

Jan 1, 2008 Poured a murky brown color into the trappist glass. There was an inch of fluffy white head and a slight lacing. There were pieces of sediment floating in the glass. Scents of cherries, malt, yeast and chcolate are apparent in the scent and in the taste. A dry, flavorful finish and nice mouthfeel contribute to an enjoyable Strong Ale.

Dec 30, 2007 Updated: Feb 2, 2008Bottle: I really did not like this beer all that much - way too much fruit flavor. There is just too much going on. Aroma and taste of cherries, rainsin, molasses, caramel and other fruits. Also had too much pulp(?).

Dec 25, 2007 Pours brown with amber highlights and a very small head. Effervescence can be seen when held under direct light. Aromas of caramel, fruit syrups, raisin, plum, and a ton of sweet cherries. Flavors of more cherries and sweet dried fruits, caramel malts, and yeasty spiciness. Flavor is as sweet as the aroma. Smooth and luxurious mouth feel with a tiny carbonation tingle at the finish. Hardly any alcohol present, masked by the candied fruit sweetness. A certain nutty flavor is left over on the palate, but not quite the roasted almond they mentioned. Caramel hangs around to the very end.
