| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA

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. phillymonksman (60), Ardmore, Pennsylvania, USA
