Jul 5, 2009 Pours a brownish burgundy with a bit of fluffy tan head. Aroma is strong of caramel and malt. Flavor is strong and intense: caramel, malt, vanilla, perhaps some raisin, and bourbon. The finish has more bourbon to it. Fairly complex and unique.

Jul 4, 2009 750 mL bottle. Dark brown pour with a nice thick tan head. Aroma of raisins, dirt, alcohol and caramel. Taste of malt and caramel with Belgian yeast present. Surprisingly high alcohol in the finish, almost like a quad.

Jun 28, 2009 Pours a deep burgundy with thick tawny head. Never thought I’d find a brew with cotton candy as I’ve seen before, but that was the first thing I thought of when sniffing this one, along with dark fruit, caramel, chocolate and toffee. Flavors of raisins, caramel and little chocolate with malts on the end. Finishes dry with alcohol warmth and light sweet resonance.(brandy-esque)

Jun 24, 2009 Tasty fruity and slightly sticky with a bit of a good wine-like tart ale-fruit edge from the yeast, and a clever attenuation of hops that puts the dryness right under the fruity tartness and sweetness. Everything supports the taste profile. Quite a nice little trick! Smell apple raisin sweet grains and tart yeast. Taste raisin, apple, dry cocoa, caramel. Great finish with a bit of alcohol warmth. Really nice, possibly more subtle dry, nuanced and wine-like than similar Unibroue beers.

Jun 22, 2009 From the bottle, pours bloody mollasses, so dark I couldn’t tell how clear/ opaque it was. An off-white, thick head reveals dark fruits, plums, apricots, some spice. The taste is very rich, full flavor, mouth coating creaminess. Agina the dark fruits are present, more spice, and a more characteristic bitter chocolate, coffee, malts. A bit of alcohol remains in the mouth and throat but is nicely balanced by the carbonation. Great beer.

Jun 22, 2009 Dark brown-red with a thin light tan cover. Aroma is big fruity malts, spice and banana, yeast notes, prunes, raisins, cherries. Creamy feel, bit of thinning alcohol. Taste is more fleshy fruits, dates, raisins, plums, cherries, some toffee, maltiness, and a light yeast spice.

Jun 18, 2009 Bottle thanks to Metzlers. Had a nice dark amberish brown color w/ a cream head. Lacing was nice. Aroma was of caramel, pecans, black cherry, and choclate. Flavor was good with toffee, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Yummy beer.
