Nov 18, 2004 Dark brown in colour. Aroma was malty (caramel, nuts, chocolate and butterscotch), some yeast and roasty. Flavour was slightly sweet, dark fruit, malt, brown sugar, yeast and caramel. Medium body, high carbonation. Finishes with a yeasty, toffee bitterness. Very good.

Nov 14, 2004 Brown body, good sized khaki head. Sweet malt and lots of dark fruits (fig, prunes) and very mild notes of chocolate in both the aroma and flavour. Tiniest hint of an underlying sour bitterness. Pleasant smooth mouthfeel but not too heavy. Very nice beer. Shared at Smokeless.

Nov 14, 2004 Thanks to Doug Shoemaker for the thoughtfulness, saving a bottle at Smokeless Joe’s. Licorice in aroma of yeast along with fruit, and licorice in taste. Lace in brown appearance crowns it nicely. Malty. Tart aftertaste following hops. Medium mouthfeel.

Oct 30, 2004 75cl bottle No BBD date except some cryptic code Sexy, gorgeous head giving brunette beer. Classic Belgian malt/raisin/fig/melanoidinal aroma. Smells "brown." Thickish dirty sponge sweetness leaves an odd feeling on the roof of my mouth. Iron taste? Otherwise the flavor follows the nose. Probably too much CO2. Malty, sweet beer, some English hop flavors(goldings? fuggles?) & a good dose of yeast. Greater than the sum of its parts, but not by much. Gorgeous beer, silky head & lace but marred by the over carbonated dead ladybug finish. Rich, but the iron ain’t cool.

Oct 27, 2004 750 ml bottle, aged for about five years. Brown color with a very thin head. Complex and appealing aroma of toffee, chocolate and alcohol. Flavor of toffee, chocolate, candi sugar and alcohol. Light to medium body, liquorous texture, medium carbonation. It seems to be losing a bit in body but gains in complexity.
