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.

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.

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.

Dec 27, 2006 Bottle from shigadeyo via trade. Deep garnet red-brown body, thin buff head. Leafy aroma with sweet breads, cola, spice, and tea. Tart, acidic body with raisin and toast, plenty of bitter spice, and dark fruit skin. Spicy finish. Reminds me of Bells Hell Hath no Fury but without the heavy esters. Alcohol notes were subtle. A good beer but already showing signs of age. I’m not sure the thin, sugary malts are going to hold up for more than a few more months.
