| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 26, 2004 Sweet notes of toffee and caramel are emitted by the pour. A deep mahogany body and a whipped tan head. A cornucopia, = plums, dates, raisins, figs, vanilla, a fresh loaf of honey nut wheat bread. The palate is sensational! It’s so creamy and velvety! Some spices that I can’t identify? Light notes of chocolate, a touch of nutmeg and coriander, maybe lavender? This is a sensational use of malt’s! Yeasty, bring a slender bittersweet finish…… What a great beer! I will certainly be aging a few bottles of this!
Post Note: - Reminiscent notes of a fine Tawny Port, - Enjoyed this brew to the maximum! dolemike1 (1129), Jeannette, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Aug 4, 2002 #420... My new favorite beer, ordered on the spur of the moment after the waitress told me they were out of Nocturnum. On tap, deep brownish with a grape colored hue. Light head with lacing. Most amazing flavors i have had in a Belgian, with perfectly sweet grapes, plums, and banana at first, changing abruptly to tones of chocolate and cherry before ending in a sweet , yet lightly drying finish. The taste lingered long after i took a sip. As of now this stands as my new #1 until I can get my hands on my old favorite World Wide stout.
