Drink4Satan (585), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Aug 22, 2008 Pours a clear apricot colour with a sturdy cream coloured head that leaves great lacing. The nose is filled with candy sugar, apricot, caramel, dust and light spices. The sweet fruity flavour profile is laced with hints of cherries, old pennies, dust, earth, and black currants. The finish is dry, aromatic and slightly metallic. The alcohol is very well hidden, but presents a flavour of peppery spice and creates a nice warming, of course. The mouthfeel is a bit on the wet side for a quad, being a bit slick. Acknud (770), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Aug 19, 2008 Amber pour with a small head. Big bold aroma and taste. Aroma of malt, molasses, alcohol. Some fruits noted in taste. Alcohol hits you over the head! robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Aug 18, 2008 pours a clear red-copper with a small light tan head that goes away quickly, not much lacing.
smell is oats, hay, earth, nuts, light spice.
taste is quite different, oily, thick, somewhat sweet, wheat, burnt toffee, malt. ghawener (952), San Salvador, El Salvador Aug 17, 2008 At RateBeerians Tasting. Bottle: Religously good. Bold, complex, well rounded, ABV well hidden. Be careful. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 17, 2008 Excellent, one of the better bigger beers and also one of my favorites from Avery. Dark brown in color, viscious in the glass, and a very potent nose. Alcohol has a presence throughout this one which detracts and it is a little too sweet and inconsistent from bottle to bottle, but I still enjoy the beer. Good for an American take on the style, but is nothing when compared to the finer Belgians. Ramenen (453), San Salvador, El Salvador Aug 17, 2008 Thanks to ghawener. Pours a dark brown with a big tan head, nice lacing. Medium bodied, nicely balanced, sweet and spicy, toffee and cloves. HughConway (364), Alabama, USA Aug 17, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with decent head. Aroma is malty. Taste is sweet, overly so. Far too crude for the style. rcasta (470), El Salvador Aug 16, 2008 Gracias hawie desde sta monica hasta el salvador parece una maredsous. Aunque nos es mi tipo. Ceviche
