Aroma of soft malt, spices and dark fruit. Flavor starts soft, then reveals spicy, woody notes supported by a smooth mouthfeel. Overall, great palate, decent flavor, but lacks the extra something that is a pre-requisite for superior Belgians. rustychiles (1057), Mesa, Arizona, USA

Pours into my Delirium goblet with a nice hazy brownish color with a red tinge and a foamy off white head. Aroma is belgian yests, candi sugar, fruits, spices. Flavor is yeast, fruits, candi sugars, spices a little bitterness. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. bigrond (1053), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 6, 2007 bottle. body is dark copper-red. Aroma is some fruitiness, taste begins as cigarette, but ends with some sort of fruit. Very Strange, not as good as i wanted it to be. brentfeesh (1039), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2004 Looks tasty! Brown with some amber leanings, and reasonably long lasting lite brwon head. Has a very lite spicy aroma with maybe clove or cinnamon, malty. Taste was spicy (bananna or clove or something) and sweet. Alcohol notes are very noticable but nice a warming. Works for a chrismas beer, I think. Also a bit flowery and sour. IslandHaole (1035), Onna-Son, Okinawa-Ken, Japan
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 29, 2004 Nov ’06 Exp Date: Caramel in color with a slight haze and a small tan head.. Cotton candy dropped in the dirt once, soaked in Tobasco Sauce with evergreen needle sprinkles added.
Flavorful and Bitter hops with strong pepper taste up front, becoming sweeter with a spicy alcohol follow. This might be a young bottle. I’d like to do as Bov mentioned and cellar this for a few years, give the flavors time to merge and mellow some. Not that it was bad now, just a bit rough around the edges.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 3, 2007 Pours a darker amber color with a light tan head. Aroma is of plums, spices, candied sugar, and a little bit of some alcohol. Flavor is sweet up front with the candied sugar, plums, cherry, and caramel malts. A little bit of spices on the finish with a little alcohol warming. A wonderful brew that I’ll look forward to having again next year.
