Apr 20, 2004 Updated: Mar 28, 2005Bottle. Pours a dark red/orange with a pretty one finger beige head with full glass lacing. Nose is hoppy, spicy and sweet. After smelling it, I thought that the first sip would be very powerful, and thankfuly it was not. The flavor is complex, but I will try to describe it: The first flavor notes that I pulled out was black pepper, sweet malt, currants, and hops. Secondary flavors are of alcohol, caramel, maybe a slight black cherry/raisin taste. The finish is slightly drier and burns just a little going down. I’ll be honest, after smelling this beer I thought that this would be an overpowering spicy beer. But I was wrong. This is an almost perfectly balanced hand crafted beer. The taste reminds me of a Dali painting: I can’t describe it, but it is most definately a thing of beauty.

Feb 4, 2004 Red-orange body with white head that disappears quickly. Some berry scent in the nose with spice and citrus. Flavor is sweet and syrupy. Very rewarding.

Aug 27, 2008 22oz from Whole Foods, Raleigh. Amber pour, nice frothy head, and an overall resemblance to Maharaja, at least visually. Sweet sticky malts dominate the aroma, with just a bit of spice in the nose. The taste is slightly boozy, which combines with the malts to make this a bit aggressive. Spicy hops make for a long, lingering finish. Funny, but it seems more like an American strong ale than a quad.

Apr 5, 2005 Updated: Feb 15, 2007When I poured this big bad boy, I was overwhelmed how much like character it has in it.
A beautiful Copper with an off-white head. Taste of Candy sugar, honey, cloves. Plus its strong as Hell!!
I don’t think I can finish it because I’ll asleep before I do

Nov 25, 2004 golden orange, nice fluffy head. Malty, corriander, dark fruits & alcohol nose. Tart, rasiny flavor. Vaguely buscuity (?) - nice and fruity. This is good but almost overkill - I’d rather have an Ommegang.
