Aug 13, 2008 (22oz bottle) Large beige head atop cloudy dark brown body, nice lacing. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, some raisin, nut, brown sugar, yeast, faint spiced banana. Taste is moderately sweet, raisin/prune, caramel, nut, some alcohol. Some alcohol dryness in the finish. Light-medium body, some chalkiness, does a poor job of holding the alcohol.

Dec 15, 2007 Transparent copper amber with a thin-lacing ring of off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet doughy malts with a touch of clove and earthy spices. Starts a little thinner with some earthy doughy yeasty notes and mild sweetness with a drier slightly toasty finish. An interesting Belgian strong, but could use a little more body and sweetness.

Oct 24, 2007 Bottle... Clear ruby ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Good retention. The aroma is of a sweet, Brooklyn, NY chocolate egg cream; Hershey’s syrup with a touch of lactic acid. Chocolaty, Belgian dubbel flavor. No European yeast complexity, but a nice, malty experience nonetheless. Hints of dark raisins and lactic acidity. Full-bodied and lightly oily with medium carbonation. Gently bitter, mineral, dry finish. Bottle provided by growler. Thanks Scott!
