Jun 18, 2008 This one poured a dark burgandy color with a small off white head. The aroma is of plums, dark fruit, caramel, and raisins. It has a really nice smell to it with a lot of complex smells. The flavors are really nice as well of chocolate, dark fruit, and a lot of stewed raisins and figs. Plums, sweet caramel, and some alcohol notes are picked up as well and add depth. The raisins give this a nice sweetness to it all. Medium bodied with a full almost creamy mouthfeel that is smooth and easy to drink with a sweet, warming finish. I liked the complexity in this one. Another great beer from the Lost Abbey.

Jun 17, 2008 750ml bottle, pours a plum juice color with a very minimal fizzy tan head that’s gone almost immediately and sits still and headless in the glass. Aroma is fermented raisins, plum, chocolate, brown sugar and ripe dark fruits; nice stuff on the nose and opens up nicely as it warms. Flavor is also pleasant, with more plum, raisin, and other fresh dark fruits, along with a light sweetness. Fairly warming without being alcoholic. This is a nice beer, not super stellar, but very solid and tasty.

Jun 17, 2008 Bottle:Deep, blood-red pour with a sizeable tan head. Massive notes of raisins, figs and dark malts with some mild baker’s chocolate and nutty tones. Medium-full body with a slight tingly finish...flavor is of dark fruits, bitter dark chocolate. As it sat, it began to take on some earthy, vinous qualities which took it to a whole new level. Solid brew.

Jun 15, 2008 This dark brown ale poured with a short beige head that quickly subsided. There is a candy and malt aroma. The flavor is chocolate malt with a smooth slightly bitter finish, and there is a bit of carbonation throughout.

Jun 2, 2008 Poured sort of creamy, thicker than other Belgians. Bottle conditioned residue. It had a frothy one-two finger head that was a light mocha color. Its flavors changed quickly from deep fruits to plums/prunes. The carbonation was good on this particular bottle.
