Oct 8, 2008 Sampler at the RR Brewpub (Santa Rosa, CA). Pours an iced tea browish copper with small satisfying head. Belgian sweetness, dark more chocolately notes and dark fruit sweetness mixed together. Taste is similar, bringing in ample flavors, the fruit and chocolate mixed with some caramel sweetness and brown sugar. Zesty belgian spiciness kicks in, finishes smooth and warming. Cheers

Oct 5, 2008 On tap @ Toronado. Pours an extreme dark brown, with a small tan head. Spiced aroma, cloves, mints, along with some sweet chocolate. Medium body gives way to immediate sweetness, brown sugar, cola, lots of malts. Great, spicy finish. A winner.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle (batch 3). Poured brown with thick off-white head that left some lasting and good lacing. Caramel and spice in the aroma with a slight fruitiness also. The flavor has caramel, fruits, brown sugar and a hint of hops. Medium body, sweet throughout, smooth. Nice!

Sep 29, 2008 The nose is strong in the malt department, there is also some dark fruit like cherries and current, along with a little booze.
Dark cola color: clear dark brown, with a white frothy head. Nice sticky lacing.
Strong chocolate flavor upfront, malty acidity follows, creamy milk, cherries and strawberries.
Palate is thick and easily drinkable.

Sep 24, 2008 Last drink of the afternoon - did not take tasting notes because I was too tired from playing air guitar on the stage at the brewpub with my fellow jackass brother-in-law. Just wrote down the score breakdown while the rest of the customers stared as us whispering what I thought I heard "....something...something..retards...somethi Good Times.
