Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body with a gigantic off-white head. Yessiree, a beer head large enough to gain sentience. Smell: Sweet-smelling, candyish aroma of dark fruits, caramel, and spice. Soft hint of yeast. Taste: Caramel maltiness with a heavy-handed dose of candi sugars. Nicely spiced. Reserved yeastiness. Plenty of figs and raisins. Fruity finish with a slight metallic twang to it. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Syrupy mouthfeel. Drinkability: That metallic twang detracts somewhat, but still, it’s pretty tasty.

This pours a light chestnut body with a decent enough tan head. It smells of toffee and fruits, both fresh and dried, maple, and a light earthiness. Very thick and almost syrupy to drink. Toffee sweet to the tongue along with more dark dried fruits and an apple skin, this finally has an emergence of alcohol midway through. It finishes on a sticky sweet note along with a very low alcohol burn. Interesting.

Pours a deep, dark mohagany color into the trappist glass. There was a nice inch head that stuck around, and provided a perfect, sticky lacing on the sides of the glass. The scent was raisins, figs, alcohol, malt and dried fruit. There was a nice quad taste with big rushes of flavor, mostly raisins and malt. There is a slight alcohol burn in the finish. A very nice quad.

Bottle. Pours a chestnut brown with a hint of red. Big fluffy off-white head. Aroma is sweet, dried, dark fruit. Very thick, full mouthfeel. Figs, raisins, dark malts. Hides the alcohol extremely well. Tastes great, but it’s a tad one dimensional.
