I couldn’t stand it anymore and finally cracked this baby open as I enjoy my first night of football sprawled on my couch. Poured a deep stained mahogoney red-black with barely a whisper of carbonation or head. The aroma is strangely waxy, and a bit date-like ... I don’t know how else to describe it ... This drinks a lot mellower than I’d expected it to, and with much different of a flavor profile than I’d expecte, too. This has a rich dark fruity character, mostly raisin, hint of licorice, plum, blackberry, pinot noir. For all those rich flavors, this goes down far too easily, a nice sipper on this nice cool evening as I watch the Patriots smoke the Chargers.(#3097, 9/16/2007)

Aug 21, 2008 tasted fruity yet slightly funky. I definitly tasted the clove and spiciness noted in the beers description. Not a ersonal favorite.

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!

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.

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.

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.
