A smooth enjoyable flavor and easy on the palate. The alcohol is extremely well hidden. A candy like flavor. Not too complex but enjoyable to drink. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

Nearly impossible to drink its so sweet...brimming with taste and a hint of hops. The appearance is fairly dark with little head and a ton of carbonation. Nice aftertaste but like I said..very strong...and sweet. Its good but one must tread lightly around this one lest they turn into a sweettooth! Vac (2394), San Diego, California, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 8, 2002 Like drinkin’ a slag of pure copper. Little bit of fruity smell with sweet smell of malt behind it. Wow, dark nutty taste with a nice little burn. This is a pretty strong beer. Interesting take on a Belgian strong. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell if it wants to bite or settle down. Could easily start talkin’ in tounges if you drank enough of this... beerguy101 (3950), Newark, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 12, 2003 Glowing orange color. Medium head. Aromas are malts, fruits and brown sugar. A full-bodied Belgian Style Ale. The malts are bold, very sweet and fruity. Yeasty, with a hint of spiciness. Its very sweet, perhaps overly so. But, its also very smooth. There are hints of the 10% alcohol, some in its slightly ‘oily’ texture and most noticeable it is warming effect, but it has no alcohol bite. This is a nice sipping beer, once you can get past its sweetness. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is smooth. Aftertaste is sweet. MAP (1089), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 17, 2004 Sweet fruity smell, seemingly raspberry underlying it. Dark red color to it with a thin, almost non-existant, white head. Flavor is strong on the malt goodness and over all sweetness. rickgordon (3321), Göteborg, Sweden

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.
