beerbill (1372), Laurel, New York, USA Jun 10, 2007 750 ml bottle. Pours a deep, clear reddish borwn with a moderate linen white head. Nice strong aroma of fresh fruit, along with some caramel and just a bit of sugar. The flavor is equally enjoyable but quite different than the aroma, with malt and caramel center stage along with lots of candi sugar. Slightly dry at the finish. The alcohol was very well hidden with only a hint of warmth at the swallow. Overall very nice.

My #1 Birthday beer!<br />
Pours a wonderful, clear ruby with nearly no head. Aroma is malty, some red currants, caramel, earthiness, plums and overripe red apples. Some slight vanilla, coriander and hops as well. Quite vinious as well. Low carbonation, wonderful creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is lovely balanced even if it is quite vinious. Lots of overripe, dried fruits (raisins, plums) with some Belgian sugar. Aftertaste is lingering with chocolate, lightly roasted malts and the red currants peeping through again. Really wonderful beer. tomthompson89 (1184), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 2, 2008 poured with little to no head, brownish color. nose is malty, kinda sugary like uncooked cookie dough. flavor is strong alcohol and sweet sweet malts. some dried fruits odd finish jpiper (6), Cleveland, Ohio, USA does not count Oct 28, 2008 6-9 months old.

Poured at about 50 degrees F, got much better as it approached 60 degrees. jsh12bama (235), Alabama, USA Oct 25, 2008 Pours brown with virtually no head. Aroma of yeast and dark fruits. Taste of yeast, raisins, amd berries. Medium mouthfeel. Pretty good. Moosington (22), Costa Mesa, California, USA Oct 24, 2008 Pours dark amber/brown, quickly dissipating head. Sweet malt, yeasty fruit and very akin to belgian brown in the nose. Excellent spice and dark fruit flavor, amazing belgian style output. Great alcohol component that lingers well in the finish.
