Jan 26, 2004 Deep mahogany red, with nice head. Aroma of raisins and malt, with some yeast. Creamy body, flavors of raisins, currants, plums present, along with some toffee notes. Really shines as it hits room temperature. Much like Chimay Rouge in my opinion.

Jun 7, 2003 25.4 oz. corked bottle. Deep, dark red with large white head that disappeared rather quickly. A complex mix of fruity and sweet esters and flavors such as vanilla, caramel, and raisins. Alcohol is present but in just the right amount, not overwhelming, warms you slightly. Excellent beer and even better value at $3.99 for the bottle. I'll find this beer in the strangest of places and get it every time.

Dec 8, 2003 Burgandy with a large diminshing cocoa head. Little more roasted flavor than the fruitiness I associate with a belgian, but overall a really solid American take on a Belgian.

Oct 28, 2004 Dark burgundy liquid pours rather thick. The creamy head lives forever. Aroma of caramel, dried fruit and alcohol. Full, fizzy and dry palette. Well balanced, dried fruit (prunes, apricots) and caramel body. After taste is heavily dried fruit and warm alcohol. Exceptional Belgian strong.

Dec 24, 2003 Pours a chocolaty brown that's quite cloudy. *Huge* head that lasts quite a while only to leave itself clinging to the glass in a nice lace.
Smells of apples and cherries, quite nice additions to the malt.
Tastes very fruity without being too sweet, which bodes well since I'm getting tired of sweet beers lately. There's some hops hanging in there as well. I'm getting the distinct sensation of a Granny Smith apple: sweet yet tart. The alcohol is quite noticable leaving behind an almost gin-like taste.
Mouthfeel is quite good: smooth and creamy. It doesn't seem that carbonated, but if you hold it in your mouth for longer than a few short seconds, you're gonna have some suds flowing somewhere.
Drinkability is good for a Belgian style; I find most to be too sweet. This one could go a few rounds.

Jan 6, 2005 A noticeable taste of alcohol , but well masked with hints of chocalate. A very dark beer with an overall excellent taste.
