Oct 11, 2004 Dark brown with a small, long lasting head. Impressive nose, blending coffee, chocolate and dark fruits. Very smooth taste with a sweetness that developes after the lingering aroma begins to fade. Finishes with a bit of an alcohol burn. On tap at Monks.

Aug 23, 2004 Tap @ Ommegang. Darkish copper color with spicy coriander and light hop aromas. Almost full bodied with tastes of dried fruits, malt, and surprisingly, hops. Tastes more like a sweet triple. Drinkable but a bit sweet for my liking.

May 11, 2004 AOBF 04 draught. Pours a deep brown with a lovely hickory/red tinge to it. Good yellow flecked off-white head and very hazy. Aroma has plenty of light raspberries in it, a huge dose of yeast and some drier malt. Flavor immediately is moderately astringent stemming from a dry fruit flavor (blueberries, raspberries, cherries). The yeast makes a big appearance and as the beer begins to finish, a candi-like sugar flavor makes an entrance. Very interesting beer. It starts out dry and waxes sweet. Very yeasty, doughy finish. Body is only medium, touch of wateriness. Some earthy/root-like spiciness in there as well. Bizarre, it certainly is. Take away the overly astringent flavors and I'd be sold.
