ILduce (133), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 23, 2008 500ml bottle: Beautiful coffee colour with dissipating fizzy brown head. Lively carbonation. Toasty notes in the nose with dark chocolate. More of the same in the flavour along with hints of licorice and banana; wheat being almost absent. Medium-bodied with a pleasant dry end. ericandersnavy (1039), crossroads, Texas, USA Dec 23, 2008 bottle from beverage depot #2. poured a dark brown with a thick beige head and was very effervescent. aroma of fruity notes, bubble gum, and caramel. flavor of spices, clove, slight alcohol. light body and high carb. CanIHave4Beers (835), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Dec 23, 2008 Mild flavors of toasty dark barley, some biscut, some clove, a little mild hoppiness. Overall I always find this a little bland. SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Dec 12, 2008 Hazy dark brown pour with a fluffy long lasting head. Aroma of fruit, yeast, roasted grain, chocolate and caramel malts. Nice fruity, roasty flavor as well. Nicely carbonated and smooth on the palate. Just a hint of spicy hops on the finish. A pretty good brew. floydian1 (257), FNQ, Australia Dec 8, 2008 Dark brown cloudy fluid with a fluffy off white head. Nose of yeasty fruits and caramel. Likewise for the flavour with a satisfying full bodied carbonated mouthfeel. Hint of vanilla in the finish. You would probably feel quite full after a few of these. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Dec 7, 2008 Bottle from Crown. Dark brown pour, nice fluffy head. Aroma is full of wheat, yeast, dried fruit and maybe some really dark caramel notes. Flavor is yeasty, fruity, a hint of spice, and has a great mouthfeel. gary07734 (391), Tyne & Wear, England Dec 7, 2008 Nice dark brown cola pour, big foamy head. Taste is wheaty, malt, cola and belgian yeast, almost sweet and sour taste. Nice yeasty/wheat finish. Nice beer. mullet2007 (198), St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada Dec 7, 2008 Pours a deep brown colour, with a reasonably thick brown head. Nose is lots of dark fruits. Plenty of raisins, and just a hint of dark chocolate. Flavour is fruity, but not like a fruit beer, just fruity. There is also a lot of spicyness which I would assume to be wheat. Also a hint of banana and maybe some cloves, although, I may just be imagining that part because I think it should be there possibly. Mouthfeel is not too bad, there is some body to it, and the carbonation is not too strong. Reasonably light drinking for a dark beer too. Not bad,
