| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 30, 2008 Bottle. Opaque, light brown pour with medium head. Aroma of belgian yeast, sweet malt, brown sugar. Similar flavor with notes of dark fruit. swanmann (310), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 26, 2008 The bottle poured dark caramel color with no light penetration, and fluffy tan head. Settles with no lacing. Intense sweet aroma of brown sugar and banana with undertones of burnt hardwood. The flavor is sweet down the middle with spice in the cheeks, like cinnamon. Tart and full bodied, this beer almost needs a companion, like carrot cake. It’s delicious, but this is all about the sugars, no hops to finish, at least that I detect. It’s an elixir. blankboy (3258), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 26, 2008 Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, tupalev & jerc -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Batch #67334. Pours a hazy orange-brown with an average size lasting frothy off-white head. Strong aroma of alcohol, spices, yeast, fruit and sugar. Flavour of sweet malt and fruit along with alcohol, yeast, sugar and caramel. Medium to full bodied, sticky mouthfeel. This is relatively well done, and I don’t mind it, but it’s not really my thing -- too boozy and sugary. tupalev (2618), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Spicy soft malt aroma. Dark fiery brown, small to medium foamy white head. Great taste, surprisingly sweet - lots of caramel. Lots of alcohol, great foamy body, spicy finish. Very good!

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 18, 2008 In the bottle at the 2008 Crescent Moon Extreme Beerfest. The sweetness is what is overwhelming to me about this beer. In fact, it’s like a liquid bottle of tootsie roll pops. A bit too much for me, but very fun and unique.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 14, 2008 Thanks for sharing Yaniv! Brown reddish with a thin light tan head. Big date filled dark fruit maltiness. Alcohol. A bit full and fruity. A bit like a very heavy Westy 12. Average carbonation, with a slight viscosity. A bit creamy. Alcohol over dark fruit. Dates. A lingering alcohol astringency. Heat. Reminds me a bit of Westy in the flavor too, but much much heavier. Guerde (710), Welcome, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 13, 2008 (bottle thanks Badgerben) Pours dark brown with an off-white head that lasts. Aroma of raisin, dark fruit, yeast, vanilla, and spices. Taste is nothing spectacular, but it’s solid, with some raisin, brown sugar, and bready yeast. The finish is rather yeasty, and the alcohol makes its presence known on the finish as this warms, but it’s a solid quad.
