dogfish120love (250), west hartford, Connecticut, USA Aug 21, 2008 tasted fruity yet slightly funky. I definitly tasted the clove and spiciness noted in the beers description. Not a ersonal favorite. skoisirius (570), Seattle, Washington, USA Aug 19, 2008 Tasted around its release date and around the release of 777. The 666 is a great brew. Pours like a dubbel would be all silky and mildy dark. Deep fruity esthers waft off the beer in the malty plum and raisin context. Very smooth and sublte blend of slight roast, nuts, and lots of sweet dark fruits take over the palate with each sip. Definitely has a small lingering chocolate sense. Mild finish. Been hearing this one has been tasting good...glad I saved a few! BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Aug 13, 2008 On tap. Pours a dark brown with a large, off-white head. Great lacing. Aroma of coriander, dark malts, caramel and a bit of candi sugar. Taste is malty, coriander, some oxidation, hint of bananas, and some alcohol. Light bubbles and creamy. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Aug 8, 2008 Thin, dark brown pour wth decent tan colored head. Nose is arab and anis with a hint of licorice. The flavor is the same with a dry hoppy mid to finish. yespr (11645), Copenhagen O, Denmark Aug 7, 2008 From tap at Stone Bistro. Pours dark brown with an orange glare and a small lacing tan head. Spiced and slight roasted malt aroma. Fruity and mailty flavour - goes into a smooth chocolate flavour. Remains smooth and is joined by a mild spice note into the finish. Lovely. savnac (394), Palmer, Alaska, USA Aug 6, 2008 22oz bottle consumed on 8/6/08. I bought a case when it came out and drink one every six months. It’s been getting better with age. Sweet malty spicy aroma. Dark brown color with a small head. Taste is very complex, roasted malty with lots of different spicy accents. Very unique brew from Stone, try it if you get the chance. gunhaver (1024), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 6, 2008 ~RBSG ’08~
On draft at Stone. Pours a dark brown with reddish highlights, with a creamy tan head and creamy wet lacing. Smells of sweet apricot, some chocolate, and applesauce. Flavor is sweet with some dark candy, brown sugar, and light caramel. And pretty spicy overall. Full-bodied, sticky and drinkable. Looks like this could be even better in a few years. enginaaron (73), San Diego, California, USA Aug 3, 2008 On tap at Stone for RBSG. Very citrusy aroma with a bright belgian yeast aroma. Very dark in appearance with a white head. Spectacular belgian yeast but not too sweet; rather musty and slightly aged (but still tasted fantastic!) Extremely easy to drink. I really liked this Epic!
