beachbum25 (778), Powellville, Maryland, USA Jan 29, 2007 Bomber-Trade w/after4ever-Poured a dark brown w/almost no head. Sweet floral aroma. Somewhat sweet flavor up front-dates & raisens, Caramel & yeast. Has a malt finish to balance it out. Had some good carbination to it, somewhat chewy-very smooth, easy drinking brew. Alcohol was well hidden. Long sweet finish, fairly comlex brew. kwoeltje (1313), Manchester, Missouri, USA Jan 27, 2007 (bottle) black with scant tan head. Roast malt aroma with spices and yeast. Flavor is roast malt, dark fruits, some spices and yeast. MrBendo (1039), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Jan 23, 2007 Almost opaque brown with a medium head. Fair lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, clove type belgian yeast and dark fruits. Tastes of caramel, roasted malts and clove. Fairly sweet taste and finish. chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway Jan 21, 2007 bottle- pours a dark cola color with a minimal head that goes away extremely quickly. smells alcohol and some malts some chocolate maybe slight rum or something I cannot quit put my finger on. tastes alcohol malts. very sweet. raisins something bitter in there as well licorice maybe in the finish along with alcohol warming that coats the throat. marcus (1821), Sacramento, California, USA Jan 17, 2007 This dark brown ale poured with a modest tan head, eliciting a strong malty aroma. The flavor is fruity (mostly raisin) and complex with a warming alcohol characteristic. I’m fairly certain this brew would improve with age, but is a great drink at the present. smhncabot (310), Cabot, Arkansas, USA Jan 12, 2007 on tap at bistro. this beer is an interesting concoction. it is a belgian style but has more dark malt than most belgians. definetly raisin with belgian fruitiness and spice but also bring some chocolate in there to. tjthresh (1746), Greenfield, Indiana, USA Jan 12, 2007 Appears black until held to light. Then you get some nice ruby high lights to go with is slight tan head. The aroma very rum raisin, or bread pudding. Flavors of mulled spices, chocolaty robustness, warm alcohol, and a nice touch of bitterness. Palate is rich and well rounded. I do think I made a mistake by opening this today. With luck, I will be able to purchase another bottle. xmarcnolanx (789), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA Jan 7, 2007 A very curious beer. It was very fruity and complex, but I am not sure what I would call the beer. Of course it is some kiknd of belgian style, but I enjoyed it more than I do other belgians as it was not completely to style.
