Nov 20, 2008 Bottle at Pub Italia in Ottawa. Deep grape-like colour, with a slight beige head. Can only fault the head for not being as large as I expected. Otherwise a beauty. Excellent flowery nose. Intricate flavours rush the mouth as you taste. Floral grape, sweet malt, other assorted fruits, quite an incredible rush. Finishes surprisingly clean but ale-like. A wonderful experience.

Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Yup. Darkness – fruits. Plums, prunes, yums, and awesomeness. Apples, apricot, honey maybe? Complex and badass.

Nov 2, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy dark maroon color with a forever lasting big white head. Overwhelming nose of raisins, plums, yeast, and black licorice. There’s far less flavor than aroma as it comes across delightfully smooth and sharp with a hot finish. Not the biggest flavor for a Belgian strong, but a delicious one with a warming, sticky finish.

Nov 2, 2008 Bottle, BB 09.07.13. Dark brown colour with a foamy, lasting tan head. Aroma of malts and fruits. The flavour is sweet, malt, apple, yeast and raisin. Very smooth and well-balanced. Alcohol is hidden well, but has still a nice warming aftertaste. Medium-bodied and not much bitterness. Very tasty and complex brew.

Nov 1, 2008 Pours a hazy dark brown color with a nice active tan head. Aroma is candi-sugar, belgian yeast, bread, rasins, dark fruits. Flavor is molasses, vanilla, yeast, fruit, rasins, caramel, spices. Lots going on in this beer, it’s hard to pinpoint everything. Outstanding.

Oct 29, 2008 Very cloud orange/brown pour. Aromas of varied malts, fruit, slight alcohol. Rather yeasty, but not in a bad way. Malt, raisin, bread flavors, solid medium body. Very clean finishing. I really don’t care for very many Belgians, mainly because I find them WAY overcarbonated and closer to champaigne than beer. This one however, was excellent and closer to an old ale style. Though I do prefer the 10.
