Dec 10, 2007 Updated: Dec 23, 2007Pours a dark amber color with a thin diminishing white head. Aroma is dark tart fruit, raisins, and bourbon. Taste is carbonated and syrupy sweet with a strong sense of alcohol. I find the taste all over the place and unbalanced, and too syrup-like. Too strong for my tastes. I think I just dislike much of this style. Couldn’t even finish it. Blech.

Dec 10, 2007 Bottle. Clear reddish brown colour with mostly diminishing light brown head. Aroma offers molasses, raisins, cane sugar and alcohol. Powerfull flavor of sweet malt and glycerin. Runs oily on the palate. Is this really beer, or is it simply a blend of Pedro Ximenes sherry and brandy...?! Good stuff though.

Nov 29, 2007 Batch 3 2005. Somewhere around 2 or 3 years old. Pours a nice mahogoney brown color. Small peach colored soapy head that is gone quickly.Smells of bread and sourness. Tastes like pure belgian candy sugar. I get notes of honey, fruit, wheat, and molasses. A bit too sugary for my liking but a great after dinner beer.

Nov 29, 2007 Pours dark ruby with small head that quickly dissipates. Strong dark fruit aroma: raisin, plum, and vinous notes complimented by Belgian yeast, spicy clove, candied sugar, molasses, and slight grain. One would expect the flavor to be almost too intense, but the tart sweetness of dates, cherries, and raisins is balanced with bittersweet honey and molasses. Ok, this is a bit sweet, but its complexity and refinement saves this brew from being cloying. Palate is sticky but not syrupy.

Nov 24, 2007 2005 version: Deep ruby pour with a sustaining tan head. Big dark fruit aroma - plums, cherries, raisons, apples - with caramel, honey and ether. Big, sweet body offers lots of caramel and toffee, before a rush of cane sugar overtakes the palate. Cherries, apples and peaches join the sweet onslaught, making this quite the dessert beer.
