Oct 30, 2009 22oz bottle: Appearance is pretty much pitch black with a slow fading tan head, aroma is pretty yeasty with hints of chocolate, flavor is again pretty yeasty along with roasted malt and some chocolate. Fits the Belgian style pretty well but could use a little more body.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle poured deep mohagony with oatmeal cookie looking head of foam. Wow, the aroma is roasty to burnt to chocolate, I wasn’t expecting that. It also has layers of banana, yeasty spice, cloves and a hint of caramel. The taste is a muddled hodge podge of notes starting with dark roasty malts, chocolate, a string of cloves and yeasty spice. It then moves into all sorts of robust bright spicy notes like more cloves, some all spice, more yeasty spice and a dash of black pepper corns. All of these spicy notes mingle, in a disjointed sort of way, with lingering burnt malts and chocolate into the finish. This should come together and get very very good in a couple of years.

Oct 29, 2009 Never expected the dark, rich body from the description, nice thin tan head, soft lightly roasted aroma, mild cocoa taste, not too sweet, balanced brew with a clean finish.
