A great bargain compared to Belgian ales. No more wax seal on bottles. FROTHINGSLOSH (2038), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA

I am not sure what went wrong when most of you rated this beer but my wife and I absolutely loved this one. Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this fine brew poured a cloudy bronze color with a small white head. The aroma was strong and sugary with a faintly sour tangy and fruity finish. The flavor is strong sweet candi with nice ripe fruits and a yeasty middle. the finish is tangy sugars. I found the alcohol to be rather well disguised and found an enjoyable thick mouthfeel. I will definitely be tracking down this one again. frankenkitty (1903), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 13, 2007 A bottle well-protected against oxidation by a vinyl (not wax) seal must count for something... a gentle pour uncovers tiny & constant sparkling effervescence throughout a honey-hazed amber body under a creamy, cream-colored head. Aroma finds smoky yeasts, like a nice Gouda with a plantain undertow and hints of maple. Alcohol concentration makes me say, "woooh"... flavors as rich as a Barleywine. Fruits and yeasts. I stop taking notes at this time by writing, "Forget Notes. Just Drink. This is Tops." There you go.

Very lightly hazed, yellow body with moderate head and good lacing. The alcohol really drove its flavor into my nose, but it carried great notes of pepper and clove without leaving much sense of alcohol. The flavor and palate hit every note right, being a balance of aggressive and comforting flavors, rich and tingling mouthfeel, and more. Really good beer. KariCupcake (214), Lenox, Massachusetts, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 17, 2004 Bottle. I liked this a lot! Amber, a little bit bubbly and effervescent. Crisp, tart aroma, but the flavor is surprisingly well-balanced with malts pitching in their share to the rich taste. Some honey, maple syrup, and chocolate go quite well with the strong tripel hops. Quite well done. 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 13, 2005 I must say that this had a really weird plastic top on it, like fake wax plastic. Reddish glow, semi transparent with no head i could see. Lots of bannanas and yest in the aroma. Very carbonated up front with some lemon thing going on, but the real deal here is fresh baked bannana bread, this tasted just like a big ol mouthful, slight burnt bitterness at the end. Solid.
