Aug 28, 2006 Bottle. Pours a nice, semi-opaque brown with a large, foamy, solid head. Not too much lacing. Scents of alcohol, yeast, apricot, some wood notes. Tastes are similar although I surmised some gamey meat qualities to it as the beer warmed up. Wonderful stuff.

Aug 27, 2006 Bottle. Dark brown coloured beer, with an average off-white head. Very heavy sweet spicy and malty aroma, some light hints of yeast and caramel. Full creamy body with a intensive bitter spicy and malty finish. Little roasted and a nice long aftertaste.

Aug 6, 2006 Deep dark brown/black color.
Spicy and yeasty aroma, a bit floral. Very complex taste of spices, sweets and bitterness. Maybe liquorice? The bitterness is very distinct. Nice one!
Very special brew!

Aug 1, 2006 This beer was absolutely something else. I am a sucker for a good Belgian Strong Dark Ale and this is no exception. Served on-tap at Zeno’s in State college.
Appearance: Plumb colored brown.
Smell: Sour ale with dark fruity scents and a brown sugar malt aroma.
Taste: Smooth easy and approachable. The flavors of dark fruits swirl around the palate with hints of orange peeking though the plum and dates. There is a nice hint of yeast and nutmeg as well. A bit of a pucker finish and voila.
Mouthfeel: The flavor has a nice balance of tart (hop) spices and sweet sugars. The mouthfeel is confusingly crispy in feel though so smooth.
Drinkability: MMM. You can just park the *truck* at my house I’ll drink it all. Fantastic!
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!
