Dec 18, 2009 750mL bottle: appearance is rootbeer brown with minimal tan head, aroma is spicy with some candi sugar and a bit yeasty, flavor slightly sour and pretty yeasty, hints of candi sugar and a bit too over carbonated. One of the best interpretations non-Belgian, Belgian strong ales I have had but still doesn’t isn’t as good as the real thing.

Dec 18, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle. Pour was amber with very little head. The taste was of caramel and fruits. The yeast stood out and really covered up the high ABV.

Dec 17, 2009 Fourth sample in a North Coast beer dinner at Teller’s. Pours a cloudy, dark, red-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, roasted malt, nuts, plum, fig, and yeast. Flavor leaned mostly toward the caramel and dark fruits, with a nice maltiness, and notes of brown sugar, nuts, and roast. The alcohol is well-hidden and emerges when warm. Full-bodied, with good carbonation. Smooth, just like the namesake. Nice brew.

Dec 15, 2009 Thoroughly enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a whiskey snifter. The beer pours a nice deep amber color to medium brown, with a lightish tan head that is moderate in size. Carbonation level is perhaps 2.5 atmospheric volumes. Strong and pleasing notes of caramel, toffee, raison, and prunes in the nose. The palate is also extremely pleasing, with a lot of the aforementioned flavors, along with some notes of brown sugar, abbey yeast esters that are pleasantly subtle, and a slight alcoholic character that adds additional complexity. Overall, excellent.

Dec 15, 2009 Det er den første jeg prøver av denne typen og første inntrykket er "oljete" men på en helt ok måte. Det er kanskje oljen som får meg å tenke på smør når jeg drikker denne. Som å ta en god klatt i munnen. Kan ikke bestemme meg for om jeg liker den eller ikke. Fin ettersmak som henger litt. Det liker jeg, da blir man på en måte ikke snytt. Krever litt tilvenning..men førsteinntrykker er spennende

Dec 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber-brown with a smattering of fast-fading foam and high carbonation evident. Dark sour fruits, malt, and citrus are evident in the nose. Flavor is initially a hint of sour, followed by a solid bready body in the mid-palate, with a hard to pin down finish. Cherries, and an earthy quality emerge on a second sip, and I’m very impressed with how the ABV is disguised here. A really nice offering. Wish it was a 750!
