May 10, 2008 Bottled.
Cloudy red-orange colour with with medium-sized head. Big, fruity aroma, with higher alcohols and bit toasty from dark malts. Warming, oozy alcohol is sensed in throat. Super smooth mouthfeel and rounded. Bitterness is noted but is not that high. Only light on the belgo-yeasty with notes of ripe prune. Very close to a Barley Wine here.

May 9, 2008 Poured a nice cloudy amber color with very little head.
Smelled very much of caramel.
The taste was similar to the scent, but more pronounced, the caramel malt was there and I thought I tasted some sugar as well.
Overall a good brew, very well balanced on the mouth without any unpleasant after-tastes.
Certainly a beer to be had again.
Serving type: on-tap

May 9, 2008 Updated: Oct 27, 2009Golden color, nice head. Lacks the initial high carbonation of most belgian beer. Smells clean and fruity, but I don’t sense anything in particular. A bit of an alcohol bite, seems they wanted this. Might use a little aging(?).

May 8, 2008 Hazy amber, huge fluffy white head. Bit of brandy in the nose, sugared alcohol, yeast and fruity malt. Flavor is sweet and strong, candi sugar and alcohol. Excellent.

May 5, 2008 Tap at Barcade: Copper/amber pour with decent clarity and an off-white head. Sweet nutty aroma with mild dried fruit. There’s also that brown sugar and fig with some Belgian-y esters. The flavor starts nutty and toasted, with decent character. Then it becomes a homogeneous sweet mess of raisin and candied sugar. Not much depth. Although it started a bit tasty, the finish isn’t balancing.

May 4, 2008 Updated: Nov 30, 2008On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a deep amber color with a thin white head that provides lacing on the glass. Aroma is sweet, malty, nuts (sweet pecans?) with notes of fruit and a little spice. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of candy, caramel, syrup, and maybe a touch of molasses. Medium to full body with a sweet and malty, caramel finish.

May 3, 2008 Pours out a reddish color with thin fizzy white head. Aroma is of belgian sugar, belgian spice, yeast and ripe fruit. Taste is the same. More of a La Trappe quad then a Rochefort. This brew seemed a bit too sweet for my liking. A bit abrasive when compared to Rochefort 10. Not bad, but something I won’t be picking up again.
