Oct 24, 2004 Deep, murky mahogany. Nose deeply sweet, plums, sugars, port, and grapes. Flavor is nicely sweet, some molasses and plums, lots of candy sugar. Hints of nuts and mild roasty bitterness, pleasingly fluity and rich, lovely kiss of chocolate at the end. Full and chewy, nice mouthfeel. Definitely a beer that has to be sipped at the proper temperature, sampled too cold it has a bit of an astringent bitterness, but at the proper temp it’s just lovely.

Oct 25, 2002 Nice. Had at room temperature but should be a little cooler IMO. Very good with a little alcohol bite in the finish. Impressive Belgian from the US.

May 2, 2005 A deep brown beauty for color with copious foam in the trappist glass - thick and tan head, with wonderful lacing. Aroma is licorice, toffee, caramel and milk chocolate. Fizzy when it first hits the palate, but after letting it sit for about 15 minutes, the fizz subsided and the malts became superstars. Flavor is toffee and licorice, caramel, fresh bread, tobacco leaves, figs and plantains. Finish is tobacco and dry chocolate. This is liquid candy.

May 8, 2008 750 mL bottle. Pours dark rust color with large beige head. The aroma is fruity, with banana, prune, tamarind, and some spicy clove hints. The flavor is sweet dark fruits with a sharp yeasty spiciness. The finish is dull chocolate, alcohol, and a little bit of licorice. Pretty easy to drink, even if a little bit uninspired.

May 13, 2008 Amber color with a slight head. Earthy, yeasty candi sugar smell. Rich, full bodied flavors mirror the aroma with spicy yeast, toasted earthy malt with a sugar honey sweetness. Not too bad.

Mar 14, 2003 Updated: May 15, 2004An excellent American interpretation of a Belgain ale. Flavor is cherries, raisins, and plums. Apperance is dark brown with a nice head and excellent lacing. Aroma is similar to a fine red wine. Now there's more than one reason to visit Cooperstown for all you baseball fans out there!
