| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 17, 2008 On tap, pours deep burnt caramel with a very thin tcream colored head. The nose is rich and full with brown sugar, dried fruit, caramel and some toffee. The flavor is quite the same, with a bit of a dry mid to finish along with some earthiness to it. alraicercsu (166), Ft.Collins, Colorado, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light brown/red color with a good size tan head. Smells heavily of dark fruit and warm alcoahl scent. Tastes of fruit, yeast, and is over all very rich feeling in the mouth. Great over all beer! thejoeshow (232), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 13, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a nice light brownish caramel, almost amber color with a large tan head. Lots of dark fruits in the aroma. I mainly get plums and raisins, with a bit of the Belgian funk thrown in. The flavor is similar to the taste, with lots of dark fruits coming forward. I thought it had a bit of an alcohol note in there too, but that’s what you get with a big beer like this. Very easy drinker! troopie (904), USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 12, 2008 Once again thanks to thejoeshow! Pours a burnt amber/orange color. Huge funky citrusy bite on the nose with a good dose of raisin, bazooka joe, and a nice yeasty funky spiciness. Palate is sweet, but not overly, with a nice yeasty dryness that finishes it quickely with a nice black pepper character. Nice notes of banana, caramel, clove and an oaky butteryness finish it all out. hellbilly (1564), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
