Jun 21, 2009 Bottle. Poured dark amber with a creamy head. Aroma was full of dark fruits and molasses/caramel. Flavor was nice and complex with fruitiness and other sweet aspects. Also a slight metallic after taste.

Jun 19, 2009 12 OZ bottle served in a clear pint glass. Poured a cloudy copper with medium, fluffy white head. Nose is Belgian yeasts, molasses, and something else that’s sweet. It could be a light fruit or sugar, but I can’t put my finger on it. Taste is similar, but the sweetness and booze is very present. Neither one over the top, but a little much for my tastes with this particular brew. This beer was pretty good, but it isn’t memorable enough in any category to warrant another bottle.

Jun 17, 2009 Thick white head and a dark ruby body... but it was dark in the bar. Dark fruit aroma is really what most of the aroma smells like. The beer itself is really heavy and sweet. Lots of fruity flavors dominate the taste. Molasses is in there as well. There is a liqueur taste... or maybe brandy or something. So the alcohol is disguised through that, but as other reviewers have noted it is certainly there. Thick and syrupy feel on the mouth.

Jun 13, 2009 The beer has a copper colour with great head, but it goes away fast. The aroma is very dominated by the figs and prunes - very nice. The same goes with the flavor - nice caramel aftertaste.

does not count  Jun 6, 2009 Can definitely taste the sugar but it’s not overly sweet. Alcohol could be better disguised. Head is a little thin. But it is definitely a BIG beer,with lots of fruit and caramel, and the price is right. I will definitely be stocking up on these.

Jun 4, 2009 On tap @ Avery taproom. Sweet, boozy aroma. Not sure the official definition of ’cloying’, but I think it fits this one. really Sweet and vanilla-y, with a pronounced alcohol burn. One of my least favorite brews from one of my favorite breweries.
