Jun 16, 2005 Brown and fantastic. Spicy, alcoholish, but fine in smell and appearance. I’ma big fan of this guy. Who knew Yankees could make Belgian better than most Belgians, and at less cost?

Apr 9, 2006 This is a really good beer. It reminds me of Duvel a LOT. It’s not as rich as Duvel, which may give it an edge. It has the same caramel and toffee notes, which slam your tastebuds with ecstatic delights. An ale among ales, this one should be drunk slowly and enjoyed.

Aug 27, 2005 If you like the abbey style ale, the winey taste of heavily fermented beers, then this is the top of the line. The caramel, the toffee, the chocolate, and the fruity taste are all well represented as soon as you take a swig. It’s an awesome ale!

Sep 11, 2007 Pours a very deep brownish red with a tan head. Quite a bit of lacing on the way down. Nose is extremely sweet with tones of old cherry skins. Flavor is smooth, rich, and deep. Robust malted flavors with a slight cherry tone to it. Caramel tones present as well. Feel is excellent. Perfect combination of bubble and rich, thick flavor coating your tongue. Extremely drinkable. A heavy hitter, but so rounded that you can’t help but keep going and going and going. Awesome offering from Ommegang. A Belgian styled jewel right out of America.

Aug 21, 2007 Ommegang... Oh, what a head. A huge, melted styrofoam, creamy head. The beer itself is the darkest shade of magenta I could imagine. Dark, but not obscure in hue. It’s really turbulent and cloudy. It’s a candidate for ’best head ever’ along with Hennepin. Head and lacing are so tenacious. The aroma is of deep grain, alcohol, grass, hay, plum, black cough drops-- all soft. It’s dank, like a basement. It has a medium to heavy body. It’s soft and syrupy with an acidic flick at the end. It lingers. The flavor is like wood with tarragon, fig, plum, fennel, tamarind and brazil nuts. It’s very complex and very boozy with an aftertaste like scotch. It actually tastes stronger than 8.5% ABV. Great beer.
