Bottle. Really big head that dissapears quikly. Aroma cis sweet grapes,raisins and port wine mixed with some fruits. Flavor is really sweet with lots of fruity notes with a burning alcohol finish.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours a very dark brown, very cloudy with lost of yeast. lots of dark fruit and sweetness but not overpowering. Good carbonation, feels very fizzy. Alcohol is barely noticeable. Incredible beer, A+

Jul 19, 2008 Pours a dark, dark brown that looks a bit tea-like when held up to light. The head is big and rocky and dissipates fairly quickly leaving little lacing. The smell is hugely complex and dominated by dark fruits and spices - plums, grapes, cinnamon, pepper. The taste is much like the aroma but has a much bigger Belgian yeast flavor that then gives way to huge dark fruit flavors along with a bit of brown sugar and caramel. The mouthfeel is full bodied with big carbonation that dance over the tongue. This is one helluva well-crafted beer and extremely drinkable despite the ABV. Highly recommended!

does not count  Jul 19, 2008 honestly i didnt care for this beer, it looked nice and everything but it was too bitter and it was too fizzy. The alchohol content overpowered the taste and left a bitter hangovery taste that most brown beers leave. mybe cause i didnt use a trappist glass?

Jul 18, 2008 Pours dark almost dark amber. Long lasting head. This is one of the best beers I have ever tried. Well worth the hype. I believe that it is better than the Westvleteren Abt 12. It is a must try

does not count Jul 17, 2008 Pours very dark. Dark Molasses color and a nice burnt amber head. A raisin smell with what can be described by me as butternut. Im through with the tasting now and noticed some sedinment on the bottom of my boulevard smokestack series glass, excellent sign to me of a good beer. Mouthfeel is wonderful. Coats the mouth very well with a nice long lingering flavor of the above mentioned flavors with a slight alcohol burn which is very much welcomed by this beer drinker. Top notch beer. One i am sure many brewers are trying to replicate.
