Nov 13, 2002 Looks and smells like it’s imported from Belgium and has the flavor to match. Sweet, malty, very fruity, and suitably complex, this brew hits the spot on a cold night.

Jun 14, 2003 Thanks to Linc again for this one. To quote motelpogo, the aroma was of whiteboard markers. There was also a bit of fuel, raw alcohol and caramel in the aroma. The palate, is caramelly, and candied, with some raw alcohol in the finish, a bit rough and short. It didn't really taste Belgian to me either, not bad.

Feb 12, 2004 (Cave-aged 2001 version) Dark red beer; little white head. Enormous oxidation jumps out in the nose, 'biscuit', but way over the top as in the discards of pastry-making. Taste is completely madeirised - in 2 years? After the Hennepin, that clinches it: Ommegang beers are just too light to age gracefully. They just oxidate. Slick, medium bodied mouthfeel. One disappointment more from Ommegang. They ought to raise their price - AND their quality.

Sep 15, 2002 Updated: Mar 6, 2004(1st rating)...Must have gotten a bad bottle…Common caramel and brown sugar note…A lot of fruit : bananas, apples, cherries, prunes, grapes…Champagne-like dryness…Very promising but everything is dying…Will have to try again…(2nd rating)...This is what you’re talking about! OK!! Soaring pepper in thick fruit syrup and rich brandy…Abundant chocolate and caramel notes…Formidable fortress of well-being…
