Oct 19, 2006 Very dark appearance has ruby hues adorned with a large, frothy tan head that leaves strings of lace as it subsides. Has a sweet dark Belgian malty nose with a touch of peppery clove and bready yeast. Body starts sweet with lots of dark caramel malt and chocolate chip cookie dough flavor toward a slightly cloying bready brown sugar, raisin finish. Fairly true to style and enjoyable.

Oct 17, 2006 Bottle in a trade with Ross. Very dark brown, almost opaque but with a ruby glow showing through the edges. Large tan head that collapses in a few minutes leaving fair lace. Sour fruity aroma with some underlying caramel and some noticeable yeast. Smooth medium body, medium carbonation. Brown sugar sweetness, peppery spice, and a pleasing bitterness combine for a balanced and complex flavor profile. Nice dry finish.

Oct 16, 2006 very dark with little head to speak of. Bubblegum and caramel on the nose and a definite roasted quality. Round and sticky mouthfeel with a pleasant sweetness. Nice bitterness on the finish to round it all out. Not as great as it was described to me, but a nice glass nonetheless.

Oct 16, 2006 Very deep brown with a thin sticky head. Aroma is toffeeish with notes of caramel and roasted malt. Flavor is very rich - body was pretty meaty and still smooth. Kind of young, probably needs to be cellared as suggested on the bottle. Still a nice brew.

Oct 15, 2006 Dark brown pour with a tan head. Malty sweetness, hops, alcohol, fizzy and a little bit of spice. I think this one needs some time, was all over the place with no clear defined flavor. Alcohol comes through a bit strong for less than 9%. Will rerate this one after 6 months. Not impressed right now

Oct 15, 2006 Bottled. Pours very dark brown in colour with a small head. Slightly roasted. Malty and slightly sweet. Hints of herbs, caramel and dark fruits. Somewhat hoppy finish.

Oct 13, 2006 Bottle. Deep copper with a frothy beige head. Sweet malty aroma with some creamy chocolate, dried fruit, clove, caramel. Good body to this one, too. Nice feel in the mouth. Sweet on the flavor but will cellar well and mellow out. Delicious. My favorite after the 02.02.02.
