Oct 3, 2005 GABF ’05. Whisky aroma with chocolate backing. Dark brown body. The flavor loses that boozy and replaces it w/ dark fruity malt, licorice, chocolate. Quite good.

Oct 3, 2005 Very smooth and creamy with a gentle carbonation. Big chocolate notes throughout ... plus sweet fruit (cherries and strawberries). Smaller note of wood. Pleasant and tasty.

Oct 2, 2005 GABF 2005. Murky dark brown, no head. Fantastic aroma of cookie dough, cherries, vanilla, and alcohol. Taste holds sour cherries, alcohol, and dark fruit. Hearty finish is bitter and toasted. Wow.

Nov 11, 2004 Updated: May 19, 20052004 draught @ Cambridge Brewery. Dark magenta tones swirl throughout a murky brown body with dark blacks and a creamy yellow-tan head. Aroma is yeast, yeast, yeast. It’s got alcohol, prunes, figs, musty old wood, dry vinous notes and raisins. What is this stuff reminding me of???? I had to sit there and smell it for a while but then it hit me, this stuff smells almost exactly like Kuhnhenn Fourth Dementia Old Ale! Which is great. It’s full, pungent and wonderful. Flavor is a mix of sour fruits, dry wood, vanilla, sherry and dark malts. Finish has a big vinousness, a bit of bitter dark chocolate. The complexity is astounding. Wonderfully made stuff, though admittedly not as Belgian tasting as I would expect. More like a baltic porter mixed with a really strong English Old Ale and then aged on wood. Body is not thick and syrupy and though the flavor is full, it is much more loose than I expected.

Nov 8, 2004 One of my favorite American brewed beers at the Boston Belgian Fest. This stuff is a murky reddish brown color with tiny bubbles that serve as a head. Aroma is bready with dried fruits. Taste is tart/sour cherries and grapes, light cocoa, grapefruit and more dried fruits. So complex, you could stand there all day picking out flavors as the temp on the beer rises. A truely complex fantastic beer.

Nov 7, 2004 Draught. Bourbon aroma, but there are some sweet roasty cocoa powder notes in there as well. Hazy, muddy brown color with a small light tan head. Vinous, sour and astringent to start. Hints of vines and bourbon with some chocolate to finish. A bit thin and astringent. Needs to make up its mind...
