| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours a wonderful deep dark cherry red with a small/medium light brown head. Aroma is a smokey dark fruit with some Belgian yeast and alcohol. Flavor contains raisins and other dark fruit, sweet and roasted malts. A little more smokey/roasted flavor than what I expected from a Belgian Strong Ale, but was still complex and enjoyable. esjaygee (1537), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA

Aroma of raisons, alcohol, toasted malts, nuts and mild smoke. Taste of roasted malts, smoke, nuts, sugar, raisons and mild alcohol.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 29, 2008 A good Belian Strong ale from the Dogfish Head brewing company. Never have been dissapointed by this brewer and may never. Pours nice and dark, good aroma of fruitiful hints. Smooth with a good flavor. I had to take a couple of drinks of this one to finalize my findings but I am very impressed. Was a bit weary of it at first but will for sure have to have again. nihar (68), Ohio, USA
