Oct 12, 2009 Local bottle. Decent enough but nothing special. Pours a dark brown, with cola-like carbonation. Aroma is is baking chocolate and dark fruit. Flavour is molasses, a little more than I like, plus more dark fruit like prunes.

Oct 4, 2009 A fairly strong tasting beer, with some
initial plum notes that mellow
into some coffee flavors. The hop flavors are not too pronunced. This beer wants something hearty flavored as a pairing and is awesome as part of a braise.

Sep 27, 2009 Bottle. Poured brown with a light tan head. Aromas of raisins, prunes, brown sugar, and toasted malts. The flavor had dark fruit, chocolate, and cocoa. Medium body and a toffee aftertaste.

Sep 16, 2009 [12 oz bottle] Fruity nose with a good deal of pretty nice smelling yeast. Other reviewers and the description mention floral flavor as well but this doesn’t come out for me.
Taste of candied fruits (plums), a slight vanilla-almond note. A bit of banana in there too. The alcohol, at 8%, is high, but really doesn’t come through. While I enjoyed this beer immensely, it doesn’t markedly differentiate itself as a strong ale. All in all though, a solid hearty fall beer

Sep 14, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a very dark dark amber, glowing, cloudy, fine frothy off-white head. Aroma is very warm, loads of fruity Belgian yeast, nutty, dusty, some buttery full. Flavor follows, warm, super nutty, somewhat dry feeling, a good amount of alcohol, lightly buttery, some fruit, toffee, long sweet and yeasty aftertaste with lasting alcohol. Medium bodied, a mix of chalky and syrupy, soft fluffy carbonation. Works for me.

Sep 10, 2009 Clear copper with a medium puffy tan head. Aroma of banana, alcohol, yeast, dark fruit, toffee and toasted malt. Body is thin with alcohol, yeast, fruit, figs, coriander and malt as flavors. Dry and astringent finish.

Sep 9, 2009 Pours a dark clear reddish amber with a yellowish off-white head. Aroma is maple and dark caramel. Sweet roasted malt shows up first, immediately followed by a chorus of dark dried fruit, dry red wine and finally some licorice. Alcohol not evident. Pretty complex, but well balanced. Excellent effort.
