Very overt belgain yeast - especially strong are the dried flower and fig or currant. I was surprised at just how compact this beer seems, a very dense beer that sits really well on the palate. I wasn’t as blown away by the candy sugar as I thought I would be, but the alchohol is definitely present here. A surprisingly good drinking beer.

Dec 5, 2009 A bottle at least three years old, courtesy of my father, also a reverend. Lots of candy sugar and molasses in the aroma. Taste is a bit barnyard but that might be the age. Sugar, cherry, alcohol, and some caramel. Not bad.

Dec 2, 2009 Bottle. Poured an orange hue with a fluffy yellow head. Nose is sweet with apricot notes and candied sugars, with a hint of the abv. Decent depth of flavors, but not a huge quad. Some fruit notes, with belgian yeast flavors. . Lots of sweetness, and a pretty big alcohol bite. Could use some time. A decent take on the style, but not quite there.

Nov 28, 2009 Pours clear deep amber, with a medium beige head, very fine and lasting lacing. Aroma of toast, toffee, grass, and bubblegum. Medium body, sharp, zesty, lightly dry. Tastes of toffee, biscuit, peach, citrus. Has some tartness midpalate, and a medium-dry, lightly bitter finish. It doesn’t seem to have any metallic taste, as it has in the past few years, but I also don’t recall significant tartness before. This will always have special memories as my first craft beer.

Yeast and malt aromas. Golden coloured floral smooth on the palate and strong in alcohol with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.

Nov 16, 2009 65 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA. Clear, crisp mahogany colour. Thin clinging head, sweet cider and brandy aroma. Syrupy consistency, honey and clove flavor with a faint alcohol finish. Very enjoyable.

Nov 12, 2009 Nice amber color in my glass. One finger head that leaves a slight film on top of the liquid. Slightly decent lacing.
BIG maltiness. Very sweet malty nose. Sweet candy sugars. Butterey, yeasty bread. Light citrus and banana notes.
Quite abit more mellow than I expected, but that is not a bad thing. Very nice caramel notes. Apple and banana notes. Sweet malt flavor. Big yeasty bread profile. Slight spiciness on the finish. The alcohol bite I expected at 10% is not here at all.
Feels very creamy in the mouth, yet still smooth and drinkable. Almost velvet-like.
Drinking several bottles of this in a session would be easy. The drawback is that with 10% ABV, you won’t remember doing it.

Nov 3, 2009 Bottle. Poured a hazy dark orange with little to no head. Aroma is dark fruits, sweet malts, and belgian yeast. Notes of candied sugar, cherry, and molasses come out. On the palate, it is thick. The flavor really brings out a stong alcohol character. It finishes very sweet, leaving a nice alcohol burn. I was not too impressed with this beer, but it was very different.
