Jun 18, 2006 This looked perfect with a nice,lasting head and black color,but the aroma was a sour malt flavorThe taste was a sour malt flavor.slightly metallic.I don’t like this style,so I am rating it lower than a lover would.I won’t buy again,but I;m sure some people would.

Jun 15, 2006 Opaque dark brown, tan head. Chewy molasses, caramel, dark fruits, not sweet though. Finishes on the bitter side.

Jun 14, 2006 smells just awesome. tons of dark fruit, a little alcohol, very malty. most importantly, it just smells great. looks pretty good, but i demand more out of the head than this. taste is easy but unchallenging. pretty alcoholic for an 8.5.

Jun 14, 2006 Bottle. Great coffee color with a white head. Aroma has notes of toffee, prunes, and alcohol. Flavor is bitter all the way with a strong finish - has a smoky, burnt, bittersweet chocolate flavor. Mouthfeel is a tad watery and lightly carbonated.

Jun 5, 2006 Bottle on the eve of the 060606 release: Dark red pour with a medium light tan head that faded quickly. Aroma has dark fruits, some spices. Flavor, more dark fruits, some roasted notes, a touch of chocolate. Nice full mouthfeel, a little warming from the alcohol. This is doing pretty well right now, but I don’t know if it’s got another six and a half years left in it.

Jun 5, 2006 I quite enjoyed this one. Has that red/amber/orange like colour that seems to be previlant amongst west coats beers. Pretty tall fluffy coarse head that was mostly white. Nice belgian yesty aroma that gives of the cursory dark fruits and lets slide some spice. Mostly, I noticed the advertised clove (my nose isn’t too good). I liked how this tickled my tongue with its lively carbonation. This wasn’t quite thick and chewy, but had a good body to it. Sweet flavours with some caramel, a bit of roast. Certianly there are dark malts in here, with some more spice notes

Jun 5, 2006 Dark red color with a good head. Aroma of belgium yeast and some definite spice aroma comes through. Smells a bit like light ginger and maybe licorice. Nice roasted malt taste comes out, especially in the end. A bit metallic and extremely earthy malt in the beginning. It’s an ok beer right now...but hopefully will improve over a few years(not sure about that though...). I won’t be tempted to have another for a few years.

Jun 3, 2006 Poured a amber-brown color with some red edges. The head was somewhat disappointing, but the lacing decent. Aroma was spicey (not added though?) and yeasty (enjoyable). The flavor was spicey, and dark fruit-like with the yeast coming through pretty strong (pretty much like a dubel). The aftertaste was bready and yeasty (slightly bitter from the latter). Enjoyable, but perhaps better if aged.
