I wanted more violence out of the cork. Pours murky brown with a full off white head.I am having a little trouble with my sniffer today but the taste is of dark malt, dark fruit, and molasses. Taste starts off with a medium sweetness and then finishes on a lightly sour note.

Poured a dark amber with off-white caramel colored head (fizzy). Aroma of dry fruit, a bit of funkiness, spice, caramel and a little hops. Same goes for the flavor accept with some sourness (in a good way). Pretty nice beer, but not amazing. Definitely worth a try.

bottle poured reddish brown with an off white head that lasts for the druatiion of the beer. Small yeast particules bob up and down with the carbonation. Aromas of dates yeast, and dry fruit The mouthfell is creamy with the nice feeling of cabonation it also finishes a little dry. It tastes like sweet grapes (almost wine ) malt along with a llite taste of hops in the end is quite nice .The pink elephant on the bottle reminds me of the one that they had in front of the detox center in danvers Mass when it was open LOL. a good Belgian strong ale I drink it again

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Bu au Pub St-Alexandre (à Québec), en bouteille de 330 ml. Brune foncée avec des morceaux de levures, petit collet beige. Arome de malte caramelisé doux, avec un soupson de fruits rouges peu sûrettes, eptite présanses d’alcool. Goût de malte épicé, un peu de fruits caramelisés, finition sec. Ceci est ma centième bière de la Belgique!

Bottle. Ive been having a lot of pretty lame beers lately so this was a nice break from those. Very good fruit flavor, mild hops and a lot of spices thrown in which makes it fresh but almost too medicine-like. Very good

Had the full pint bottle. Wow! This stuff kicked me in the liver! It poured dark and cloudy with a decent head. It smelled kind of hoppy but not amazing. Once it got passed my lips, it was quite good and got better with each taste. It got to the point where every time my mouth was dry, I simply poured more Deliruim down my throat! This was a very good ale that I will be having again.

(330 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/boothbay/ target=blank>1828 Vintage House) Pours murky dark orangish brown with lots of suspended solids. One finger of biege head that recedes to about 1/4" and stays. Aroma of brown sugar, candy-like maltiness and dark stewed fruit. Mouthfeel of fine bubbliness (bottle-carbonation), soft, a bit dry. Flavor is a bit winey and yeasty with the stewed fruit and some rock candy maltiness. Not particularly rich but I enjoyed it. First mouthful was very metalllic but that seemed to subside. High marks for appearance, aroma and palate.
