Mar 9, 2007 Bottle. Nice brown color with nice head and lacing. Malty flavor with just enough hop backbone to give it balance. Slight alcohol finish. Great beer but I prefer its big brother.

Apr 27, 2007 Dark brown with nice head. Lots of sediment. Fruity aroma. Incredible flavor. Slightly sweet, fruity taste with hints of chocolate(?). I plan on making this a regular drink. I think I’ll need to to work out such a complex flavor. Outstanding.

Apr 17, 2007 pours hazy brown with huge inviting head. wonderful sticky lacing. aroma was rather light and clean. a sweet yeasty scent with a touch of alcohol. the flavor is outstanding. fizzy at first with all the carbonation with tart fruit on the tip. warms nicely in the mouth with a medium feel and a slightly dry finish. superb. every aspect of this beer is enticing and it delivers.

Aug 18, 2007 Pours a beautiful, cloudy, dark amber almost mohagony brown color into the trappist glass. A small amount of sediment was left in the bottle, with some tiny particles making their way into the trappist glass. There was an inch of perfect, frothy head letting it be known that this is a mother of a beer. The scent was very complex with malt, raisins, caramel, figs, dried fruit and a doughy, biscuity note coming through. A perfect play on the palate, with tiny, crips bubbles exploding on the tongue. There is a nice creamy feel to the finish. The complex flavors included dried fruit, cherries, molasses, alcohol, chocolate and some bitterness. There is a spicey aftertaste and near perfect mouthfeel. This is a tremendous beer that lives up to the hype.

Feb 28, 2007 An amazing beer. Aroma is decent, honestly not much scent to it at all, which can be a good thing. Appearance is dark brown and perfect. Mouthfeel is amazingly smooth. Flavor is rich and hoppy. A wonderful brew

May 17, 2007 $4.49/11.2oz from Holiday Wine Cellar. Pours with average head, but blossoms into a thick creamy wonder after a couple of minutes. Nice mild caramel aroma. Nice sweet taste with an alchohol nose. Why do I pause to say this is a great beer? Maybe because great isn’t good enough. This beer is great!
