| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 23, 2008 Bottle: Clear amber color with a small off-white head. Ripe, fat and war raisin aroma. And it also smells like some people’s breath the morning after a spicy meal. Leathery flavor as well as furniture polish, and some alcohol. Interesting aftertaste. I can’t quite nail it. Not bad.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 22, 2008 Bottle. I actually was pretty turned off by this one. Pours a dark cloudy brownish amber with some head. The aroma is strong malt, yeast, and some chocolate. The taste is chocolate malt, alcohol, and something else I found to be offensive. glennmastrange (865), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 4, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of roasted, nutty, caramel and milk chocolate, light herbs and leather for the hops and yeast, with wine and toffee in the background. Head is small, fizzy, off white, with no lacing and is instantly diminishing. Color is murky brown. Flavor starts moderately sweet and finishes moderately sweet and lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium bodied, oily bordering on creamy, and has a lively carbonation. It finishes lightly alcoholic and slightly drying. Big on the malts, it lacked a large yeast profile but it’s definitely an enjoyable Belgian Strong. rustychiles (1058), Mesa, Arizona, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 28, 2008 bottle. aroma is akin to a tripel - spicy and lightly sweet. smooth full palate. light toasted caramel and bread flavors. a tad on the sweet side, but makes a nice sipper. alcohol gives it an edge but doesn’t detract at all. very nice and good for the price.
