Mar 1, 2008 Sample at PCBF 08. Pours a translucent deep amber with a bubbly/creamy off white head. Aroma of sweet malts, toffee, Belgian yeast esters and some brown sugar. Flavor was also kind of malty and sweet, some Belgian yeast esters, a little fruity and some nutty notes.

Apr 11, 2005 A nice dark amber color with a sweet malt aroma. The flavor offered some fruitiness. Not the favorite of the evening but a truly interesting beer.

Jul 16, 2004 reddish-purple, flat, whiff of icing sugar and some date and fig in the aroma. quite syrupy, hint of pear schnapps, quite well-balanced with a pleasant warming finish

Jun 6, 2004 This is a pretty dark prune-juice mahagony. The falvor is a bit sugary and the Belgian yeast profile is low. There is a bit of overripe fruit in there, though. This is a very timid attempt at a Belgian strong, but not really that bad of beer.

May 13, 2004 6 oz sample at the brewpub. Dark maroon color, creamy thin lasting head; yeasty, brown-sugary nose. Very, very sweet, candylike: brown sugar/caramel/vanilla, lots of yeast. Simple but effective; very light and effervescent. Will be much too sweet for some, but it worked all right for me.
