Floral aroma of over ripe fruit, dark fruit, sugar, and yeast. Smooth taste, again with a real flowery quality, dark fruits, and a candy taste to the finish.

| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 6, 2007 Absolutely love this ale. Totally different than other BSA’s, but overall, its just so enjoyable. VERY malty ale, lots of overripe fruit, plums. raisins, dates, yeast in the nose and flavor. Very balanced. Mouthfeel is smooth and not too much alchohol burn for a 10%er. Very well done! Cajun (144), New Iberia, Louisiana, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 28, 2007 Tap @ Blind Tiger, NYC. Poured a reddish-brown, definitely not like any abbey tripel you’ve ever seen. The aroma is very sweet. The beer is subtly complex with a ton of flavor and very malty. Off-beat for a Belgian ale but very nice. Braudog (3766), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jun 28, 2007 Updated: Jan 11, 2009300ml bottle, exploded when I opened it, then poured a muddy, ruddy, dirty, opaque midnight red, lightly active with just a bare top. Gargantuan aroma of cooked sugar. Thick and viscuous this is not exactly a pounder or summer beer ... wow, big and flavorful, this is packed with sweet, moltenness ... molasses, pure malt extract, butter.
