Oct 8, 2005 Red/brown pour, with a tan head. Aromas of malt, yeast, dark fruit, brown sugar and spice. Flavors are brown sugar, malt fruit, hops, and a rather large amount of spices. I’d like to try this again in a year or two to see how it ages.

Dec 24, 2007 Bottle at O’Brien’s. Brown-reddish pour. Aroma is very malty, raisins, and smoke. Flavor is brown sugar, slightly smoked / burnt malt, chocolate, and some hops in the finish. It might be time to drink this one. Alexanderj thought 4.2ish and that it was "a malt explosion / extravaganza."

Oct 29, 2006 From a 22oz Bottle. Deep brown pour with a light ruby tinge and a thin, off-white head. Dark fruity, raisiny perfumes waft from my glass, giving this a bit of a barleywine-like nose. Some softer strawberry fruits as well. The bouquet is quite heavy on the dark fruit malt characters, but the yeast character doesn’t strike me as being too spicy or strong in presence. Rich, full bodied mouthfeel thats borderline syrupy and with a mild, but healthy carbonation level. More rich raisin and prune malty characters come through on the palate, along with a touch of chocolate.

Sep 20, 2005 Deep brown hue with maroon edges. Large, frothy, light tan head. Rye, mustard, vinegar, milk chocolate, caramel, anise, herbal aromas. Very spicy with sweet malt undercurrents. Heavily sweet, lightly acidic flavor. Moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter finish. Medium-full body, oily texture, lively carbonation. Slightly less complex than the 04 (side-by-side) but rich and tasty in it’s own right. Brown sugar flavors develop as it warms.

Aug 21, 2006 22oz - Aroma is pungent dark toffee, carmel, prune, date, and black licorice. Pours deep dark brown with small head and good lacing. Flavor is sour, but I don’t think it is what the brewer intended. I had it fresh and remember it being a little sweeter? Still good with loads of carmel, toffee, and dark fruit. Palate is tart and sticky. I liked it better fresh, not sure if it will make it to 2012.

May 7, 2005 Dark brown, almost black with a nice thick off white head and lacing.
Aroma is sweet malt, over ripe fruit, alcohol and just a touch of chocolate.
Sweet malt and alcohol flavor with roast and spice as the beer warms.
Good stuff.

May 11, 2005 good, but really more of a barleywine then a belgain strong ale. A nice malty/yesty presence. A slight alcohol presence. Really nothing for me to make a comment on. This beer really didn’t have much to comment on.
