Braudog (3464), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Oct 1, 2006 Draft in the logo tulip at Bilbo Baggins, Alexandria VA. Black like oil with light little bubbles along the glass rising to a tan foam. Pretty ligiht body and very bare flavors ... glimmers of smoke, espresso, chocolate malt, effortlessly seamed together. Quality brew.
branspra (86), Arlington, Virginia, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with an extremely large, brownish head. Aromas of chocolate, raisins, port, and molasses. Very lively palate with a thin, oily texture. Long aftertaste that is smooth. Wonderful beer. beerlady (249), lucerne, Switzerland Oct 30, 2008 brown beer with a beige head who lets some traces when dissapearing
smells of malt yeast caramel and some fruit (dried plums)
tasts malty and fruity too
aftertaste is bittersweet and malty-fruity LordCorkscrew (671), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy Oct 26, 2008 Una dubbel decisamente ’carica’ con una splendida dolcezza e sentori balsamici al naso, un corpo un po’ troppo leggero (e frizzantezza inadeguatamente elevata) ma sapore pieno e avvolgente, con note di uvetta e cannella. beerbill (1395), Laurel, New York, USA Oct 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy brown with a large off-white head that faded to a film by mid-glass and left partial lace. Pleasant aroma of yeast, brown sugar, and a bit of spice. The flavor is caramel, yeast, brown sugar and some spice. Mild bitterness at the finish and a bit dry towards the finish as well. I had read the description on the bottle before opening this beer and was expecting ’’rich malt with notes of port, raisins, and black chocolate,’’ none of which I experienced. Still, a solid beer. CaryTheDude (489), Ripon, Wisconsin, USA Oct 20, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Wow, superior to St. Bernardus Pater 6 even. Beautiful bouquet, sweet dark fruits galore. Another awesome, bubbly, tickling the tongue mouthfeel. Only problem: finishes a little too dry. Very nice.
