Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Aug 15, 2005 Solid brown with a firm comforter topping that let little aroma escape. The flavor is full-on and rich ... whiskey malt and maybe a tinge of bitter chocolate. This Hair of the Dog will put Hair on your Chest.
TeamTrappist (167), jericho, New York, USA Oct 1, 2008 12 oz bottle from batch 72. Poured a dark chocolate cloudy brown with a light brown small but thick looking head. It just looks like its a thick beer.The nose exploded upon opening the bottle,sweet, chocolate, belgian yeast. Some decent carbonation, and interesting complex flavor, with a very bitter finish,and a strong hint of alcohol. Hints of cola, chocolate, with a smokey tinge. This is no doubt hearty. danielcurtis81 (98), San Diego, California, USA Sep 22, 2008 Bottle. Batch number 70. Pours a rich brown. Very tobacco-like on the nose. Very sweet in flavor. Very rich, chocolate, raisin, and dark dried fruit flavors. Finish is smoky like a cigar. Very different ale but a really really good. Hawksfan17 (656), Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 20, 2008 Pours dark brown with a mocha head. Rich dark chocolate aroma. Sweet, rich, and strong are all appropriate to describe this complex flavor. Little bit of smoke on the end there. sneagrams3 (1448), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Sep 19, 2008 Tasted 9/16/08. 12oz bottle. Pitch with a brown hue. Beige ring of head. Coffee and cola aromas.with hints of rum raisins and dark berries. Toffee note and a woody smokey quality. Full bodied with a big palate and big alcohol. Smokey flavors.
