Oct 15, 2009 This really isn’t a bad beer. I’d drink it on a regular basis if it were priced for that sort of drinking. Nice roast actually goes well with the faint citrus. I like this one.

Oct 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark, hazy color with a small, frothy brown head. Aromas of chocolate, bananas, orange, and roasted malts. Moderate mouthfeel with a nice, slick start that ends with a creamy, sticky finish. Flavors of vanilla, grapefruit, hints of chocolate, and some malts. Very good beer, most likely will age well!

Oct 14, 2009 Pours very dark with a big light brown head, excellent lacing. The aroma is belgian, must be the yeast, sweet raisin/clove, banana/bubble gum. The initial flavor is a little roasted, a little bitter, hints of strong coffee. The body is creamy with a slight dryness. Not getting all the flavors, vanilla, chocolate or spices - hopefully they will come with age.

Oct 13, 2009 This has notes of roast and citrus in the nose, with a touch of vanilla. Pours an opaque black, with a craggy tan head. Flavor is a bit on the sweet side for my tastes, strong roast and chocolate notes, a bit of bitterness blending over to vanilla in the finish. Full mouthfeel. Curious how this one will change over the next couple of years.
