Muddy brown beer with a malty aroma, and a malty, lightly spiced and lightly dry flavour. Overall a reasonable beer that tastes very much like a Belgian style beer.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Boy aint this a weird beer. Poured a dark dark brown, very near opaque. Moderate foamy head. Aroma is plenty weird, notes of soy sauce, meat, molasses, maple liquer, we are talking SATB territory here. Mercifully the flavor is different with a def bitter chocolate tone dominating the affair. Medium bodied, overall sweet profile with a chocolate and caramel finish. Light herbal character rises in the finish too. Fairly smooth and rounded mouthfeel, pretty easy drinking for an odd duck. thebeertourist (2822), Oslo, Norway

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 22, 2008 Updated: Dec 22, 2009500 ml. Opaque with a small lasting disc of foam. Interesting aromas of cattle farm, must, tobacco barn, licorice, chocolate, wheat and faint fruity bubblegum. Flavor is very similar plus some dry and bitter cocoa, cardboard, and metallic cherry twinges. Develops an earthy char and mocha coffee aftertaste. Medium body is creamy, a bit watery, tingly, and too fizzy. Interesting stab on this one, but not something I would return to again, especially at such a steep price.
