Apr 7, 2004 Bottled 750ml shared with the wife - David Copperfields NYC. For me this is too sweet an attempt at recreating a good Belgian beer. The colour is a muddy brown. There is lots of candy sugar in both the nose and the mouth, but it just doesn't seem balanced enough.

Jun 21, 2004 Had at HBF from bottle. Poured burgundy, with a big head. Aroma of malt, fruit, yeast, spice, and peat. Tastes very complex with hints of all the aromas above. Nicely balanced, with well hidden alcohol.

Mar 12, 2005 Brown copper ale with light moka head. Light coriander and sweet malt in aroma, with vinous qualities. Rich malt and barley sugar with coriander and sour apples. Rich bodied Belgian ale, always a pleaser! Tap at CNY brewfest, Feb.5 2005.

Jun 17, 2002 Updated: Oct 20, 2009750mL bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (bread, cookie, cake), lightly yeasty (cobwebs, basement), with notes of date and orange peel. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly to moderately alcoholic. Seven years since my last review of this? Wow. Scores about the same as other Ommegangs...high 2’s to low 3’s is about where all of them fall. Consistent, but unimpressive. Nice aroma on this one, but rather flimsy, watery, and uninteresting in the mouth.

Jun 28, 2002 I like Oakes’ banana-chocolate comparison, and I’m going to stick with it because I can’t really think to write anything better now. Might be my favorite from the brewer at this point, though I am not their greatest champion.

Aug 2, 2003 pretty strange stuff. weirdarse whiteboard marker and amyl nitrate aroma leads into rockmelon and brown sugar flavour, then some vanilla sherbet and aged port woodiness. aftertaste a little sour, reminiscent of stale cask wine. didn't quite come together right but extra marks for strangeness
