Jan 14, 2009 I really tried to like this. But....rough pour into snifter gave this a huge frothy white head. Otherwise looks like brown poopwater. Sweetness and maybe some spice or bread on a rough swirl but not very much here. Creamy carbonated mouthfeel but not a whole lot in the flavor depot either. Finishes dry. Seems simple. It is nice and warming and kind of creeps up. ABV invisible.

Jan 13, 2009 Very dark but still obviously brown a small but lively off white head that seems to refresh itself constantly.
Rich and fruity aromas pervade through roasty malts. Raisins and black grapes. With a light smokiness through hints of brown spirits.
Heavy dark malty flavours with great fruity notes. Robust fruit like guava or something of that sort. Very deep and complex.
A little fizzy but smooth, thick and heady.
Very boozy but a great beer. Deep flavours, exquisitely crafted.

Jan 10, 2009 Bottle black in color, good one finger head. Aroma of dark fruits and some spices. Also some yeasty earth aroma’s as well. Taste is a little spice, fruit, maybe a light touch of chocolate. Once it hits your tounge, lots of small carbonation bubbles come alive. Unique texture.... still creamy smooth. Alcohol is hidden well. Overall a good beer.

Jan 5, 2009 33cl bottle. A murky, reddened mahogany coloured Trappist with obvious sediment and a bubbly, quickly dissipating head. Plummy, red berry aromas with a background of alcohol. Dried fruit aromas with a bready quality amidst plenty of red berry notes and a noticeable alcohol content.. The finish gives a lasting sweetness with a whiskey-like bitterness. A light and sparkling palatte texture with a warming feeling in the throat.

Jan 4, 2009 12oz bottle, nice turbid and cloudy brown color with a puffy head,. Smells malty, some spice but not much. The taste is unlike almost any other beer I have had, so strange. Gummy, spicy, malts, Dr. Pepper. Quite different but I’m not sure its my thing. The alcohol is well hidden which makes it quite easy to make it through the glass.
