May 17, 2007 Pours a viscous dark mahogany with a frothy dark tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel malt and earthy bready Belgian yeast with a touch of light fruitiness and cherries. Body starts fairly full, dense and dark caramely sweet with good semi-tart balance and a touch of dark raisins. Thick, sweet, and mildly earthy finish has nice authenticity and complexity. A good dark Belgian strong ale.

May 2, 2007 Shared with BBB63. Black beer out of the bottle with a thick foamy biege head. Light cereal nose with some fruit and a hint of roasted grain. Light mouthfeel, with flavors of brown sugar, an almost blueberry fruitiness, and some roast grains. Very nice sipping beer. I hope I can get some more.

Oct 17, 2008 Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured dark brown color with an average light brown head that diminished slowly and produced good lacing. Good roasted, caramel, dark fruit and yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth. Medium to heavy complex sweet dark fruit flavor with a medium to heavy complex sweet finish. This is a standout brew.

May 22, 2007 Pours a dark brown. Aroma is strong, strange, and tough to decipher. Rather meaty, with some licorice, prunes and a spice presence. Odd, but balanced. Tastes of chocolate, spiciness (yeast? cloves?), light roast coffee. Finishes like a yeastier, fruitier/spicier robust porter would. Balanced, full, and interesting enough to keep me wondering. When the glass was done, I still didn’t quite know what the hell I just drank. I’d say that’s something worth seeking out.
