Jan 26, 2008 Pours a medium brown. Medium body. Smell is of smoked teriyaki beef jerky with a hint of mango. Complex in taste. Very sweet, and huge alcohol burn persists through its finish. I drank this in several small pours in a tiny tulip glass.

Jan 25, 2008 Updated: Jan 28, 2008Pours dark with a huge head that takes forever to go away. Smell is malty with a good liqour smell that is impossible to ignore. Taste is too much alcohol for me. I’m just not a huge malt liquor flavor kind of guy. It is just too much alcohol not enough beer flavor. Sorry, just not for me.

Jan 22, 2008 Dark brown pour. Very heavy alcohol aroma and taste. Taste of molasses, plums, brown sugar. I really get no hops. Good for sitting around a fire sipping.

Jan 21, 2008 2005 bottle..Poured a murky brown color with really no head at all. Sweet alcohol aroma. A fruity style malt liquor with flavors of raisins, dates, cherries and a hint of molasses. Finishing with a lot of sugar and alcohol that does linger for a minute. Never had a strong belgian style like this one before.

Jan 14, 2008 Not even. When beer stops being fun, the beer should stop. This is malt liquor. I appreciate the time that went in, but come on - this is like letting fruit sit awhile and drinking the drippings just to see weird colors. Hearkens the days of real primitive chemistry, though it doesn’t have a nice burn - which in this case would add balance.

Jan 13, 2008 2007 bottle poured into a trappist glass. Poured a bog water brown with small to medium tan head. Aroma was of raisins, honey, dark fruit, molasses and brown sugar. Flavor had a lot of sweetness, which I liked. Flavor of raisins, molasses, caramel and dark fruit. Light toasted presence. Alcohol presence was strong, detracting from the flavor a bit.

Jan 12, 2008 12 oz. bottle (2007)- poured into tulip- semi transparent dark caramel when poured, light tan head formed. Aroma of grains, roasted malts, plums, molasses, and a hint of nutmeg. Hits the mouth with a sweet medium body, very heavy on the tongue, sweetness throughout, heat at the finish from the alcohol and minutely from hops, definate warming effect. Great sipper.

Jan 12, 2008 Updated: Jun 1, 2009[945-20071207] 12floz (Vintage 2005). Very boozy grainy roasted malt aroma. Clear, very dark red mahogany body with medium-lasting foamy light tan head. Dark roasted malt flavour has a sweet sickly finish and burnt wood notes throughout. Full body is smooth and rich. Interesting. (7/4/7/4/15) 3.7
[2069B-20090402] 12floz bottle. Sweet figgy rich roasted malt aroma with fruity currants. Hazy, dark brown body with a medium-lasting foamy light yellow head. Sweet currants continue in the flavour with a boozy rich malt and sweet figgy fruits. Heavy full body. Good. (7/3/8/4/15) 3.7
