BMan1113VR (905), Los Angeles (and Dallas, TX), California, USA Feb 17, 2008 Provided by and tasted with ilovedarkbeer. Aroma is seeded fruits (dates) with clove and cinnamon and some dark sugar. Moderate yeasty smell out back. Creamy, light brown head upon pouring covering an dark amber body. Good lacing. Some pretty large particles floating around too. Taste is excellently well balanced with some nice sweetness. Very yeasty finish. Creamy mouthfeel, but fizzy carbonation. Very nice, but light, alcohol presence on the finish. Good beer!
Tripplebrew (285), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Oct 5, 2008 Pours a hazy amber with tan head. Aroma is heavy sweet nuts and fruit. Flavor is candied sugar and malts. Very sweet. Body is creamy and carbonation is fair. MuttyD (87), Cambridge, USA Sep 22, 2008 Amber/brown pour, huge white head, and huge amounts of lacing. Aroma is of apples, candied sugar, yeast. Flavor is of a typical Belgian Strong Ale - dark fruits, candied sugar, bread/cookie, and almost no bitterness. Great brew. mjg74 (1798), La Mesa, California, USA Sep 17, 2008 Bottle from Whole Foods. Hazy dark brownish in color. Sweet candied dark fruit aroma. Some banana in the nose as well. Sweet flavors. Some roastiness and spices. Dark fruits and yeast. Alcohol is well hidden. MrChopin (200), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 14, 2008 Updated: Sep 16, 2008Ruby-Mahogany with a large, yellowish, foamy head. Yeast sediment throughout the beer. Nose is quite a blend: very sweet with yeast, fruity jelly, caramel, some spice (possibly a little pepper). Sweet, fruity flavor, malts and yeast the dominant forces. Palate is a little foamy and too carbonated, but long lasting. A nice beer, perhaps best for desert. Furseth (1162), Kungälv, Sweden Sep 1, 2008 Bottle: Hazy red colour, with a nice head. Aroma of sournes,citrus ,fruity,some yesatynes too. Flavor is fruity mouth feeling, nice medium body,medium fruity/citric finish.
