Sep 11, 2008 Bottle: Dark amber, near ruby color. Thin head. Nose is fruity and spicey. Yeast and cloves. Tastes vinous and fruity. A bit malty with the typical Belgian spices. Raison, candied fruit, and overall a bit sugary. Yeast and viney florals.

Aug 22, 2008 Bomber from PC Market of Choice in Eugene, OR. Beautiful, clear, mahogany color with a multifinger beige head. Aroma is nutty, yeasty, and hinting of citrus zest. Medium body with smooth, creamy carbonation. Flavor is spice, roasted caramel, and a smidgeon of bitter. Finish is light candi, and it’s more sweet than bitter. Rather silky. It could have been different, but it’s damn good as is.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle thanks to riversideAK. Pours brown with small head. Very much a roasted and nutty nose. Flavor has some caramel, yeast and mild nut to it. Just a touch of hops that finish it off.
