zombywoof (355), Shawnee, Kansas, USA Jun 27, 2008 Updated: Jun 28, 2008Dark brown and hazy with a frothy head. Aroma of cherry, chocolate, malt and currant. Subtle and complex with lots of different notes vying for your attention: spice, chocolate, toffee, walnut, malt and dried fruit. Soft mouthfeel and gentle carbonation with a lingering finish. A first rate Belgian. azlondon (655), Fribourg, Switzerland Jun 27, 2008 Appearance: Dark brown, cloudy. Nice amount of head, creamy.
Aroma: Pretty malty. Raisins.
Taste: Malty, raisins. Bitter.
Info: 330ml bottle, 1/3-2006, 85/300 AllAboutStout (605), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Jun 26, 2008 Pours brown in color with ruby highlights. The most impressive thing is the frothy half inch head that is still there several minutes after the pour. This beer looks good! Very carbonated and creamy feel. Taste has a certain spice going on. Not as much dark fruit as the 10, but still noticeable. Very good beer that I could drink regularly. This is far from a knock, but I prefer the 10. Guinnessman (88), VACAVILLE, California, USA Jun 24, 2008 Not as great as the 10...but still a phenomenal beer with good flavor. Goes great with a hunk of Gouda or Gruyere Cheese and good conversation. markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Jun 24, 2008 Another incredible beer from the St. Remy monks. It pours the typical slightly red brown color with a tiny amount of off-white head. Big flavors in this beer including candy sugar, dark fruit, milk chocolate, caramel/ toffee, and bourbon. Phenomenal. twitcher (293), framingham, Massachusetts, USA Jun 22, 2008 bottle. dull, murky brown with a big frothy head. aromas of candied fruit and bananas. flavors of big raisins, floral hop bitterness, some boozy notes, a very crisp, sweet maltiness. Highly carbonated, and somewhat soapy on the palate. tarc (47), New Jersey, USA Jun 19, 2008 Pours dark, cloudy brown with a cream-colored head. Aroma is clean, fruity with mild hoppy flavor and smooth malt.
Excellent, very drinkable, very tasty...
hiphop (84), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 18, 2008 Pours very dark, cloudy brown with a big, pillowy cream-colored head. The aroma is clean and fruity: banana, berries, mild hops, and smooth malt. The flavor has much the same character as the aroma, but with a yeasty foundation. The hops are a bit more present than other Belgians, and it makes an interesting complement to the rich vinous flavors. Altogether it’s very tasty, and it makes me want some aromatic cheese to eat with it.
