Oct 19, 2007 Pour is a murky brown with a large tan head. Aroma is big malts with some caramel and spice. Flavor is molasses with some candi sugar and toffee. Finish is wood smoke and oak. The flavors are all there but nothing comes out to the forefront to put this in the outstanding category. Still there is enough to find in this beer to be one to try.

Oct 17, 2007 75cL bottle, from old notes. Pours a deep hazy brown with thick tan foam, great retention and lacing. Big malty aroma, noticeable coriander. Flavor is big on the malt, very little hop flavor and a bit too much coriander for me. Mouthfeel is almost perfect.

Oct 9, 2007 Bottle. Very dark tawny red/brown with a ½ inch red/brown foamy head. Nose-dusty, spice, black pepper, cinnamon, medium CO2, anise, brown sugar, big sharp mouthfeel with some spice but not too sticky, black cardamom, green tea, cane sugar, bready, alcohol fig, black cherry, apple skins, Dr. Pepper. I really like the perfect spiciness balanced with the sweetness. Good earthy clay flavors. This is pretty much everything I look for in a Belgian. Like most beers with this kind of gravity it sweetens as it warms.

Oct 7, 2007 Pours out a think brown with a fairly established and thick tan head. Aroma is very sweet and floral, some roasted malts in there with the classic Belgian yeasty smell. Taste is sweet brown sugar, spice, and yeast. Although there is some malty and peaty flavors of the Scotch ale but I dunno this one was just average to me.
