Nov 1, 2009 Sampled from 22-oz bomber during Darkness Day 2009 in Brooklyn Center, MN. Pours a semi-hazy copper amber colored brew with a long lasting off-white head that leaves behind some sticky lacing. Aroma of toffee and caramel malts, Belgian yeast, a hint of candi sugar and some cotton candy. Taste is medium to full bodied, with flavors of caramel malt, candi sugar, some banana esters, yeast and a touch of raisin. Finish has a little alcohol presence with a candi sugar and caramel aftertaste.

Oct 24, 2009 Lots of raison and dried fruit. Sweet, with yeast and alcohol. Clearly recognizable as a Belgian strong, the flavors are all correct. It reminded me of Val Dieu. Sweet finish.

Sep 30, 2009 22 oz. bottle - thanks frank!! pours orange brown that is clear against the light; off white head; musky aromas of figs, yeasty spice, raisins and malty goodness; quite dry and mildly rich in an quad-like way; figs, raisins, candy syrup and other dark fruit; perhaps a little too sweet for me as the all flavors don’t quite come together; lots going on, just a little messy

Bottle: The aroma consists plum, raisin, faint chocolate, and candi sugar. It pours a hazy, bordering on cloudy, dark reddish-brown with a moderate off-white head that leaves behind nice lacing. The flavor starts with moderate sweet plum, Belgian yeast, and some faint chocolate in the background. The finish has some raisin and faint spiciness. Medium bodied with lively, but soft, carbonation.
