carboloader (301), Houston, Texas, USA Jul 13, 2008 Sampled at the Bend pub. Pours maroon. small white head. Malty but otherwise pretty bland to me. Definitely does not taste like a Belgian strong ale to me. More like a strong brown ale. Angeloregon (2023), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 28, 2008 Sample at the source in Bend, OR--Poured a dark brown-amber body with a small creamy off-white head. Faint nutty, caramel, sweet toffee nose. Not very exciting, but not too bad. WeeHeavySD (2031), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Feb 12, 2008 1/1/08 At the BrewPub with Bikesandbeer after a day’s drive from Portland, Brewery 5 of the trip. Pours dark amber with a bright white ring. Nose is basically dead. Taste consists of sweet malts, low abv in the taste. Eh. SuzyGreenberg (1067), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 14, 2008 sampled @ brewpub - cloudy brown with very slight head; aroma is all malts with very slight hint of alcohol; texture is slightly creamy and just a little to bland BuckeyeBoy (1211), Boise, Idaho, USA Jun 24, 2007 On Tap at Brepub pours out a hazy red topped with a off white head. A nice and sweet along with some spice aroma. task just so so.
