DA (2383), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Apr 6, 2008 On tap at the 2008 Cheers to Belgian Beers event. Pours dark amber with a tall beige head. Soft caramel flavor, light hint of berry and raisin. Hops gave a sort of veggie green flavor that didn’t sit well with me and made this a bit to bitter which kept the malts on the back burner a bit. bb (2088), Martinez, California, USA Mar 12, 2008 Draft. Caramel color with a light tan head. yeasty, light spice aroma. Malty, caramel, light fig, light spice flavor. Medium body. Lingering yeastiness, malt, and light fig. Missing a lot of the fig/plum/raisin I like, but still very nice. ABUSEDGOAT (1900), California, USA Feb 29, 2008 Draft at Toronado. Reddish brown colored. Aroma is grain, dark sugar, raisins, caramel, Belgian yeast. Medium bodied, fairly sweet, quite drinkable.
