| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 18, 2007 This beer pours a nice dark amber color with no head at all. It has a nice aroma of chocolate and berrys and it is really sweet. When you drink it every thing bombards your mouth at once the chocolate,berrys and malt and hops. But after a few sips they equal out and all you taste is sweet malt and chocolate and berrys. There is also that mild bitter sweet taste that sticks around on the palate for a while.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Apr 18, 2007 Pours an ultra-cloudy, heavy particulate-filled almond colour. The particles are huge, a settle to the bottom of the glass quickly. Smells like thanksgiving in a glass, with marshmallow covered sweet potato and chocolate truffles filled with fruit. Like candy. The characteristic The taste is smokey and fruity, with a good amount of alcohol coming through. The palate is crisp, with medium carbonation, and warming.

Yeast thick particles are visible and floating. Aroma is toasty with a definite presence of alcohol, hint of chocolate. Almost a hint of white wine aroma.Flavor is chocolately, wow does that chocolate hit the palate well. Caramel, roasty taste. My palate is loving this, long lasting and very pleasing. Everything is well balanced. Carbonation is slight and compliments the beer well. This is awesome. Made my night. aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 17, 2007 This was good but not as complex as it might have been. Great looking packaging. Flavor is loaded with malt and Belgian yeast. Aroma has more malt, quite sweet. There is lots of fruit and some sugar here, some vanilla but no chocolate. A thick and heavy beer.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 14, 2007 First beer tried at JK’s Spring Gathering. Pours a rusty copper amber with a very thin head. Soon a cream colored ring with thick bubbles develop on top. The aroma is thick with sweet and fruity malts of plums, apricots, toffee, caramel, and molasses. Taste is roasted and smoky mesquite wood. Fruity flavors picked up were carameled apples, dates, plums, and brown sugar. Finish is sticky sweet with soft carbonation. This Grand Cru reminds me of a good aged tawny port.
