Nov 2, 2007 750 ml bottle into trappist glass. Pours a dark ruby brown with a few fingers of tan head. Toffee and caramel malt aroma. A hint of liquorice and chocolate in the flavor, with a nice sweet toffee aftertaste. A good Belgium strong ale for the price.

Oct 28, 2007 Bottle from some ale house in New York. This was a solid and enjoyable brew. The dark fruits and chocolatey Belgian malt were the star of the show. The alcohol was hidden, or at least it was by that time of night. Good mouthfeel. Good beer.

Oct 28, 2007 Very big beer. Aroma is big and full of belgium malts and sweet crystal. Nice apple cider like red amber hue. Flavor is very complex with yeast and Belgian malt. Nice bitter finish. Good mouth feel for such a big brew, feels light but medium body and soft. Good for a Belgian strong ale.

Oct 25, 2007 Cask of dry-hopped version at the Blind Tiger. The aroma was fruit, clove, belgian malt, and pine. The flavor was similar with the belgian malt taking a back seat to the fruit, clove and pine hop finish. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one because I disliked the Urthel hopped belgian, but this was really quite good. Great mouthfeel on cask, and the typical yeast found in belgians wasn’t really there (which was probably a good thing).

Oct 21, 2007 Sampled @ GDBTF. Pours a dark ruby with tannish head. spicy nose, cinnamon, nutmeg, toffee. Pretty rich on the palate but not too heavy; strong caramel, faint grassy hops, licorice bitterness, very yeasty dry finish.

Oct 18, 2007 Bottle (small). Malt and yeast dominate the aromas of this beer. Moderate notes of caramel, nutty, a little cereal, and dough, with light herbs and grass for the hops. Dates and a little alcohol are in the background. Head is fizzy with big bubbles, off white, with fair lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is a murky brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, between watery and creamy and carbonation is fizzy. It finishes lightly alcoholic and a little dry. A bit too fizzy and the taste could’ve been bolder but definitely a very enjoyable Belgian strong
