Aug 14, 2008 A very citrus aroma. Orange, lemon and lime. This is a great hopped-up triple. Thick with a good spicy and hoppy flavor. It seems to start like a triple and finish like an imperial IPA.

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drugs and Liquor. The ale is colored as a solid golden hue with a dense appearance and a fluffy patch of foam. The nose is a spicy aroma of Belgian yeast with a slight notice of perfumed hops as well as soap in a distant background. The flavor is sweet nectar of hops blended so well with the strain of yeast that it’s just incredibly tasty and well spiced. As for the palate, it’s a war of carbonation occurring across the tongue yet easily quaffable. The drink earns a strong score with me and reminds me a little of the vertical epic 2004 which I so longed to taste fresh again.

Aug 15, 2008 A spicy hop nose with some lingering light fruits. Flavor is a massive dose of the freshest american hops ive had, mango fruit, spices. Its like they put together a class A belgian, and an IIPA, and you get this orgasm of a beer. I think the Westy 8 just got an american ass kicking. What can i say, the gargoyle does his job well.

Feb 5, 2009 The smell hit my nose before I could raise the glass to take a look, so I’ll give you that first: smells very sweet and creamy, with clove, vanilla, banana, orange and yeast.
It poured VERY orange in color, with a small, creamy foam head, about 1 finger, into a trappist glass.
The flavor is very complex and bitter, with clove, burnt vanilla, pepper, and resiny citrus hops. Fantastic taste!
Palate is dry and long-lastingly bitter.
All around an absolutely stunning masterpiece. If I had a cellar, I’d put a case of this in for a few years.
