Dec 23, 2008 Updated: Aug 1, 2009330 mL into an Orval chalice. Pours a hazy coca-cola brown with a small tan head that settles down to a nice film. Nose is rum raisin, milk chocolate, brown sugar, caramel, along with some earthy tones. Taste is complex with some cloves, cinnamon, milk chocolate, figs, raisins, molasses, and plums among other things. Fizzy and slightly creamy on the palate. Slight warming alcohol in the dry finish. The 10.5% is superbly hidden.

Dec 18, 2008 Chocolate brown with medium particles and a long lasting tan head. Very sweet smell of burnt sugar and raisins, fig as well. A hint of sour at first, then burnt toffee and caramel with a burnt bitter ending. Watery and fizzy on the palate.

Dec 17, 2008 Updated: Dec 19, 2008Beautiful torrent of chestnut rolling in a tulip glass as plummy, spicy aromas rises. Earthtone appearance with light brown head. The flavor of roasted malt comes through with hints of chocolate and caramel melt sink into formation just afterward. Very satisfying touch which well hides the high alcohol content. This is one of my favorite after dinner beers.

Dec 13, 2008 Beer poors foogy deep brown with a slight tan head. Aroma is of raisin, fig, and carmel. Alcohol presence is definately detectable in aroma. Flavor is what I would hope for out of this style. Flavors are complex and are similar to the aromatics that come forward. Beer finishes nicely. This beer is great and I look forward to having it again.
