Apr 12, 2008 My Bottom Line:
Fruity yeast and caramel maltiness pervade this able-bodied Belgian-style Strong Ale until an earthy, herbal hop bitterness seals each sip.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the hazy brownish copper.
-The fruitiness is sometimes redolent of prune juice and raisins.
-The caramel sweetness is accompanied by a smidge of licorice.
-Alcohol is warming yet does not bother the flavor profile at all.
-Our bottle was well-carbonated, yet the Tsarina Esra wasn’t. I starting to wonder...might they have capping issues?
Bottle; thx Marc et Éric!

Apr 8, 2008 bottle sampled at wlv this past weekend..... poured a reddish amber brown with very little head.... aroma of sweet candied sugary malt w/ dark fruit.... flavors of sweet candied sugar and had virtually no carbonation.... i’m not sure if the lack of carbonation is universal to this beer or just the sample that we had tried.

Apr 6, 2008 Sampled by bottle at West Lake View Tasting. Pours a clear red brown with a small off white head. Lots of malts in the nose. Caramelized, toffee, and toasted malts that are slightly sweet. Sweet malt flavors. Caramels, brown sugar, citrus and red fruit that finish with a charred sweet hop finish. Decent beer.
