Jan 15, 2009 Nice one to sit by the fire with, and excellent for a Brewpub Dubbel. A welcomingly warm ale. Rich and fruity with a slight malty and caramelly complexity.

Dec 22, 2007 Bottle shared with Fly, Dewbrewer, Humulone_Red and others. Thanks guys!
Pours a glowing orange with no head. Funky nose reminiscent of gooey band-aids. Odd taste with sweet guaze like flavor. No carbonation and this one just wasn’t for me.

May 15, 2005 bomber from Lou18. pour is a deep gold with a very lively frothy white head. aroma and flavors are of sweet candy sugar, bread dough and some floral hops. this was a highly carbonated brew and may have been better if I had let it age a while longer. still a nice Belgian style beer, thanks Lou for sending it my way!

May 14, 2005 Bottle thanks to Richlikebeer. Dark amber color with a medium sized tan head. Sweet malt aroma with a bit of coriander and raisins. Flavor was also sweet with the fruit coming out even more. A little less sweet and I would have enjoyed this more.

May 12, 2005 05.07.05 Thanks to someone at Heavyweight openhouse. Dirty amber-gold pour, creamy head. Sharp and sticky, maybe even schticky. Interesting mix of apricot and grape, savory spice, pepper. Lingering tart fruits.

May 8, 2005 Poured medium with a smaller sized light tan head. Aromas and tastes of spices, cinamon, candi sugar, dark fruits and light yeast. Lightly sweet. Fizzy body. Reminded me more of a dubbel than a Belgian Strong Ale.

Jan 23, 2005 I just got back from Pacific Coast (oakland brewery), and brought home a bottle of their new holiday beer. I had it last night and enjoyed it, but, unfortunately, I had it after I was near black-out...(I love their leviathan, toooooooo much)...I do remember the brewer, a very nice guy I always shoot the shit with, saying "let me know what you think. And watch out! I used a little champagne yeast; so open it slowly and away from your face." I do remember, lots of lacy bubbles, good head, strong candy flavor ("sweet tart" esque), noticable alc, but no need for an eye patch.
