Aug 12, 2006 Pours out very dark and the familiar aroma of Stone’s Belgian yeast strain is immediately evident. The usual clove and banana are present as is a good amount of smokey roastiness and some muted dark fruit richness. That, however, is contrasted by a surprisingly light body which works both for and against this beer. The high alcohol content is evident though well balanced. Another enjoyable beer in the Epic series--will taste again in six months.

Jan 28, 2009 On tap at Winterstorm. Dark red brown with a determined tan head. Not what I was expecting based on the other 0 /0 /0 brews. Dark fruit, brown sugar, and chocolate nose. Warm and sweet in the mouth. Full. Smooth. Really good.

Sep 5, 2006 Bottle. Pours a very dark, dark brown, with a thin tan head. Very roasted malty aroma, with some spices and some dark fruits. Very nice mouthfeel. Creamy and smooth finish. Flavor is mostly the roasted malts, with some fruity sweetness and a splash of hops. Very tasty. Very drinkable. I am glad to have a few bottles to cellar.
