May 18, 2008 light brown with a huge tan head. Strong belgian yeast character. Lots of dried fruit, some spice. Finishes with decent carbonation. Nice to get a good bottle of this.

May 5, 2008 Updated: Oct 26, 200825oz bottle. Chestnut brown pour with little head, spritzy bubbles, almost coke-like. At first, this seemed like some kind of bock, it was really malty and smoky, lacked the spiciness I expected., Grew on me as the glass wore thin. Solid, just heavy on the malt and had a kind of smoked, toasted character. Fruits like figs, dates, and bananas shined throughout. I would have liked a creamier mouthfeel.

Apr 29, 2008 Poured a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of banana and spices. Flavor is a bit bland w/ spices and a wheaty finish.

Apr 25, 2008 Updated: May 7, 2008Bottle. Pours a orange brown with very little head. Great aroma of dried fruits - figs, raisins and a bit of smoke that fades to banana as beer warms. Quite a bit of carbonation (which came as a surprise due to the lack of a head). Flavor has faint notes of dried fruits, along with a bit of molasses. It gets better as it warms and the flavors come out as the caronation subsides. Nice alcohol presence, warming. Lightly bitter finish.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark amber with no head. Sugary aroma with pine notes. Flavors of spices, banana?, dough/bread, and clove. Soft on the palate, not too carbonated.

Apr 19, 2008 Tap @ Port Brewing. Pours a ruby red with a fading head. Light fruity aroma, some banana. Good fruit mouthfeel, smooth malty. chocolatey. Alcohol is very well hidden. Raisen aftertaste with a hint of alcohol warmth. Would buy again!

Apr 18, 2008 Drunk from a wine glass. Cloudy. Orange-brown at base, transitioning to auburn, then deep red, with an off-white head. Intense, fig, plum, raisin and chocolate aromas, with hints of honey and bready malt. Strong malty flavor, with a warming alcohol finish and deliciously sweet hints of raisin, cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel and even some rye-ish spiciness. A very unique take on one of my favorite styles.
