| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 22, 2008 The beer pours a very dark amber almost black with a thick off white head that is mostly lasting. The nose is a yeasty sour funky mix of bread and malts. The flavor is what the nose has lead us to believe; a slightly funky sour with notes of yeast coriander and citrus, the finish is slightly sour and short lived. presario (2983), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2008 12oz bottle. 4-pack purchased in Calgary. Very dark reddish brown with a good yellow tinged head. Keep the liquid swirling in the glass for a steady aroma stream. Alcohol, malt, spices and a hint of molasses. Lively thick mouth feel. I find it tasty, interesting and drinkable. Restrained alcohol. Dark malt and soft spice. A hint of sourness or acid in the finish that is intriguing. soyorganic (217), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2008 Bottle: beautiful looking beer with a dark red color. Aroma of chocholate, and some yeast. Very thick beer with nice sweetness. The sweetness yeild to a slight hop taste, but this is a good beer. The alcohol is noticeable. BlackForestCO (827), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Bottle shared by a generous local. Poured a deep amber-brown color with a thin beige head that faded to a ring. Aroma of sweet brown sugar, bubble gum, some spice, and a hint of yeast. Moderate biting entry with some fruity undertones and a moderately yeast, dry finish. Smooth, moderate dryness. Not bad, but not outstanding and lacks some Belgian character. lemasney (398), Trenton, New Jersey, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 15, 2008 Beautiful dark amber color with good sized tannish head poured from 750.
Good malt flavor with a hint of sweetness. Nice aftertaste alcohol not to overwhelming. Crosling (1854), Loveland, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 15, 2008 Brick colored autumn color with a small, well layered hour. Bubble gum and dark fruit in the nose, fairly nice, but could have more depth. Flavor has hints of honey covered fruits, decent belgian character and a decent finish. It’s an ok Belgian style beer, better than most American interpretations. phishpond417 (1946), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 8, 2008 Pours an amber or somewhat reddish body. Caramel malts and definately sweet tasting. Very little hops. Nice medium sized head, with aromas of syrup. I thought it would be better than it was for the price. But truthfully, I was a little dissapointed.
