Nov 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with a large, creamy dark brown head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, chocolate, nutty), average hop (perfume), average yeast (leather, earth, leaves) with notes of date, smoke, cola, vanilla, and cinnamon. Full bodied, creamy texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness. Peat aroma with some lacto sweetness.

Oct 31, 2009 Good tight, beige head and excellent ring lace. Nearly black color where no light can shine through.
Dark malt aromas with a light yeast smells in the background. Light yeast.
Very strong alcohol warmth on the initial sip. Relatively thin body with a low level of carbonation. Burnt coffee flavor with a hop kick which shows up nicely in the swallow and aftertaste. Lots of yeast bite as well.

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.
