| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 22, 2006 (750 ml. bottle @ The Real Beer Expo - Rochester, NY) Orange/amber in color with a puffy and lasting white head. Aroma is loaded with malts, spices, yeast, caramel, and some plums. Flavor is very smooth and malty with some nice dark fruit flavors and a spicy finish. Very warming, even though the 10% is hidden well. Aftertaste is very dark and malty with some sweetness. dobb1392 (36), Norman, Oklahoma, USA

Little white head, dark amber color and full spicy palate. Alcohol peaks through slightly. punkeedo (465), San Antonio, Texas, USA

Appeared beautiful amber brown with light cream lacing. Tastes well, very balanced palate, with hints of chocolate and rye. Very enjoyable beer...this brewery simply does not make a poor product.

Has an after taste like honey and brown sugar together. There is a lot more going on here, but I can’t describe it. Prune, candi sugar, malt, apple, and spice come together perfectly. This is very, very good. Butters (1651), Virginia, USA

Nose is fantastic deep fruity, with no traces of alcohol. Flavors of light smoke, anise, oak, vanilla, and a plethera of other flavors. Truly a great brew. Gypsy19 (644), California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 17, 2008 Initital metallic taste followed by a high-quality spicy ale like only the Belgians can do. Nice alcohol burn for those who dig it. This stuff is on par with Bernardus 8.
