Mar 16, 2009 Draft @ Capone’s: Poured an amber color with a nice head. The aroma was sweet dark fruits, roasted coffee, and some vanilla. The flavor was dark fruit, sugar, sweet roasted malts and a hint of caramel. Overall, an interesting brew, easy to drink and can drink lots!

Mar 15, 2009 I assumed this was made from the second runnings of Flying Fish’s excellent Belgian Dubble, but came over to Ratebeer.com and found out it was from the Porter. Wow, very chocolatey, and tastes like a much bigger beer. Poured with a huge pillowy head, which slowly dissipated into nothing. Leaving a bare trace of lacing along the way. Aroma is and overall flavor is very Belgian. This beer complemented my meal very well and would love to drink this regularly, if offered. This was seriously good.

Jan 25, 2009 BCTWC 09. Pours a deep coppery brown with a thin off white head. Aroma is initially on the heavy coffee side and surprised it did not contain any coffee at all- some chocoalte malt, light phenolic belgian character but it is subdued and lightly herbal and weedy in the hop character- no fruityness from the amarillo noticed. Flavoris more coffee notes, chocolate, light caramel sweetness, with an earthy and prickly spicy pepper finish. Pretty good and easy drinking, although the overall belgian character seemed very low.
