Sep 10, 2007 Wow. Okay. Finally something redeeming from NB. Pours a slightly cloudy ruby. Nose is very like, well, a Belgian brew. Yeasty with a sweet and citric tone. Taste is very good. Smooth and even. You get that slightly sweet edge that comes and goes with the rolling of the flavors. Overall a very good brew I think. Recently I was getting so irritated at the lack of interesting stuff from NB that I was about to just write the whole brewery off. But this one is redemption in a bottle. Damn good. The feel is slightly thick, but a bit lighter than some other Belgian brews. Definitely drinkable.

Sep 5, 2007 Dark brown with a tan head that shrinks to a thin layer that hangs on for the duration. Very smooth, spicy, and fruit flavors, alcohol is hidden well.

Sep 1, 2007 An "as if" beer. As if you could try and duplicate a dubble. It’s not great, but it’s not as bad as I thought it might be. The flavor is nice and I may have to stop saying so many bad things about this brewery.

Aug 29, 2007 Bottle. Very dark amber. Smells like sour garbage. Really sour and tart taste. Carbonated garbage. Awful aftertaste. Do not want again. I do not get all the hype and excitement about this beer at all.

Aug 27, 2007 Dark brown pour with a good tan head in a trappist glass. Standard fruity belgian yeast smell, but more lightly than most of the style, and mixed with a dark roasty malt like smell and flavor as well. As it warms big notes of licorice come through and stay. Taste was similar to the smell and was perhaps my favorite belgian beer, and I’m not a huge fan of them. I could definitely see this growing on me, and could get this again.
