Dec 16, 2009 Great dark brown robe, headed by a sweet foamy collar. Caramel, citrus, pears, orange and spices aroma. Delightful taste. Strong yeast taste partly masked by spices and caramel touch. A complex but very, very good beer. Can be compared to ABT 12 and Rochefort...

Dec 15, 2009 12oz bottle from BC Liquor at Park Royal. Pours a dark, murky brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is musty with sultanas, bread, treacle and complex undertones too nuanced for easy description. Taste is certainly malty at first with the promised toffee sweetness very evident. There’s a little roastiness there as well layered on top of fruitcake notes. Finish is pleasingly bitter and lingering. Alcohol gives good warmth without being overtly boozy.
Excellent.

Dec 8, 2009 Bottle.
The color is dark reddish brown, the foam is thick. Aroma of alcohol, cola and fruit. The beer has a warming feeling. Full-bodied, fruity, sweet, malt and yeast. Aftertaste is long and sweet.

Dec 5, 2009 Acquired this one from the pastor ... holy man and beer lover. Sweet raisin, citrus, almost orange juice aroma. Dark golden orange hazy, tan appearance, little foam with minimal retention, ... faded after a couple minutes. Taste was a heavy cloying sweetness, some burnt flavors, maybe figs ... very strong but not overpowering. Full body, creamy texture, lively, long and sweet finish. Alcohol is present throughout the beer - but soothing - not strong. Excellent dark triple!! One of my favorites.

Dec 4, 2009 Dark, murky brown pour with some head, some lacing. Aroma of mild sweetness, slight dough, belgian yeast. Flavor is mildly fruity, mostly prunes and raisins, some doughy breadiness, and a slight herbal bitterness. A bit on the low side of carbonation but is fine for the style. Finishes a bit sweet. Its fine, but not as awesome as I’d hoped.
