Mar 24, 2005 Deep brown color with a HUGE inital tan head. Sweet fruity aroma with malts and also alcohol as it warms. Sweet carmel taste, along with apples and some chalk. Pretty tasty. Thanks to JSquire for this one.

Mar 9, 2005 Poured very dark brown with a somewhat creamy off-white head which left little lacing. Strong aroma of apples, pears, dark fruits and alcohol. Taste is of some dark fruit with hints of chocolate, but dominated by a very bitter and dry finish. Not nearly as balanced as others, and more along the lines of Unibroue than true Belgians. Not bad, but I’ve had much better American-brewed Belgian-style ales.

Mar 5, 2005 Strong alcohol aroma; sweet and rich and not much in the way of a typical Belgian beer aroma. Reminds me in aroma and flavor of Abbaye Des Rocs Grand Cru. Very large tan head. Lasting. It is so nice to see a head last. Strangely, not much lace. Dark, almost fully opaque, brown body. Leaves some yeast at the bottom of the glass. Very good; better than the Abbaye Des Roc. It is stronger. Sweet, caramel mouthfeel. Very carbonated, warming. A real treat. I can still taste it a day later. Thanks Slikwily for sending this brew.

Feb 28, 2005 I thought that this was just fantastic - I really shouldn’t have given Kujo my other bottle! (just kidding, Mike!). Deep brown with ruby edges. Aroma was rich with fruits and chocolate. Caramel chocolate flavors surrounded by plums and dark fruits, body is very smooth. Some spices towards the end, dry finish. Thanks to both Jsquire and Slikwilly for sending these to me.

Feb 27, 2005 Slightly rubyish brown colour. The aroma is chocolatey, richly fruity. The flavour is quite sweet, chocolatey with notes of oranges and sultanas. A little too hot and too spritzy, and these elements make the beer seem uncohesive.

Feb 27, 2005 Dark brown with an amber hue. Decent size head with average lacing. Carmel malts with some sugar cane aroma. Perfumy yeast makes the aroma quite enjoyable. Flavour was ultra caramel sweet.

Feb 27, 2005 Very dark brown beer with a huge rocky head. Sticky lacing that hangs around for a very long time. Sweet malts, dark brown sugar, prunes, dates, sweet caramel and a hint of molasses. Perfumy yeast with some coriander. Bready mouthfeel and flavour with a sweet toffeeish finish. Solid beer.
