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.

Jan 3, 2009 Poured a clear amber color with a small, thin, off white head that left no lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruits, candy sugar, banana, and raisins. Taste of caramel malts, dried fruits, candy sugar, vanilla, and a bit of raisin, with pronounced alcohol in the finish.

Jan 25, 2009 BCTCWC. Pours a deep dark amber, slight haze and a thinning head. Aroma is tons of fruity esters, plum, raisin, apple, and apricot- sharp sweet caramel and dark crystal malts with a sharp spicy phenolic kick. Flavor has that sharp twang goig on from over the top sweet sharp crystally malts, and overload of fusel and fruity esters- spicy as well- black pepper adn almost a cardamon and licorice hit in the end- earthy and leathery in the middle but overall just too much going on here and it seems jumbled together. Meh.

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.
