Nov 9, 2009 Draft at Obriens. Dark ruby to brown hue with light swath of tan bubbles. Nose is dark fruits, molasses, sweet malts, and a touch of oak. Flavor is classic dark Belgian, with big raisins, figs, brown sugar, and hints of Candi sugar, slight grassy-earthy hops play in the carbonation, hints of vinous grapes, oak, vanilla, cocoa and coffee in the sweet finish. Full-body, thick texture, lively carbonation. Thick, complex dark Belgian strong ale with tons of flavor amped by the wine barrel aging, alcohol strength is on the radar but not overwhelming.

Oct 27, 2009 bottle, pours dark mahogany with a medium tan head. Brown sugar, raisin, and yeasty aroma. Flavors are nice with a carmel malt and brown sugar being upfront and some spicing and raisins in the background with some alcohol coming forward late with a sort of metalic sour note in the finish. Solid dark BSA.

Oct 25, 2009 Pours a two finger light tan head that fades very slowly leaving a good lace. Deep brown color. Good carbonation and medium-heavy bodied - almost chewy. Caramel/raisin nose. Flavor is smooth, sweet raisin and caramel. High ABV is hidden. $9.95 for a 22oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA.

Oct 15, 2009 2009-10-12. Dark brown body with a nice foamy tan head. Aroma is lightly metallic, brown ale like roast/toast touche, modest dark fruit, light alcohol. 7+ Flavour is similar, dark malt base is moderate, toasty malt touches, dark fruit and dry alcohol in the finish are prominent, bitterness in the finish is tough to separate from the dryness of the alcohol. Light spice tones to warming alcohol in the background. Smooth medium to full bodied palate. 3+ Pretty solid. Bottle from Premier Gourmet, Buffalo
