Jun 20, 2007 Aroma was really nice. Rich malty chocolate and a some belgian spiciness to this. This beer really seemed like an abbey dubbel rather than an ASA. Flavor was actually very tastey but it was just a little to sweet for me. A slight hoppiness and bitterness to this. Kind of a hopped up dubbel which was pretty interesting and i actually enjoyed this a lot.

Jul 17, 2008 Aroma is strong, malty and yeasty with a touch of apple and a smoky hint. It pours a rich, opaque sable with a nice thick beige head that disappears slowly. Flavor has a rather strong alcohol bite like a barleywine, which tends to mask the rest of the taste, but I did pick up some good malty tones and a ribbon of chocolaty sweetness. Definitely for sipping, not slugging.

Aug 5, 2008 Pours a deep brown color, almost looks black with amber accents. Nice foamy tan head and some impressive lacing. Aroma is lots of caramel then some molasses and a slight scent of fruity hops. Rich flavors, heavy on the malts, roasted and doughy malts, caramel, butter (diacetyl?) and the dry hopping in the finish with a touch of fruit. I honestly can’t decide if I liked this or not. The first couple of sips I didn’t like it but then it kind of grew on me but something always seemed a little off. It wasn’t at all alcoholic, that was hidden quite well. The bottle has been aged a year now so maybe that played a part.

Oct 9, 2007 On tap. Dark brown, decent head, nice lacing. Aroma of raisins, fruit, some hoppiness as well. Very nice flavor, but the alcohol is very present.

Jun 23, 2007 Bottle. This beer was all over the scale for me as evident bye my ratings. So many different things going on in this one. Very strong smells of sweet coffee, molasses, florist shop / dentist office. Interesting flavors of coffee, dark chocolate, sweet molasses, hops, and some metalic flavors. Intriguing.

Nov 23, 2007 A dark brownish pour with ruby highlights, minimal tan head, Aroma is malty with citrus hops and ester, phenol background. We have dark fruity, chocolate and bread malt supporting a healthy infusion of hops; yeast contributed flavors add to complexity, alcohol presence wraps up the package. An interesting and complex brew, quite enjoyable,
