Sep 20, 2003 A decent take on the style - yeasty aroma, dark red color, zero head - mildly sweet flavor, with hints of grapes, grain, slight grassiness - vinous a bit - sticky, malty finish - good, but lack a certain depth that most American-made belgians do.

Aug 28, 2003 This brew poured a small head of fine to medium sized light brown colored mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind afair lacing and a hazy brown colored body. Its aroma was mildlt malted and its mouthfeel was smooth. The flavor is mildly malted with some spice added in for excitement along with the dull bready yeasty flavor.

Aug 23, 2003 5/6/02 vintage. Dark ruby color small brown head. Sour fruity aroma. Very sour at the start with nutty and toffee flavors following. Similar to a Flanders Red, but in a bad way.

Aug 12, 2003 I am not a Belgian Abbey fan, though this was a solid beer. Nice dark color.

May 6, 2003 This beer rocks!
Sparkling clear mohogany brew. Small, fizzy, lightly-tanned head is quickly and fully dissipating.
Very complex aroma. Tons of malt and yeast induced notes. Belgian chocolate, candy sugar, prunes, raisins and other dark fruits, toffee, butterscotch, caramel and pistachios.
The flavor is of overripe bananas, light sourgham molasses, dark raisins, English toffee, butter and plums up front. Nicely balanced with a lightly tart and barely bitter hop and yeast presence along with a touch of alcohol on the backside.
Full-bodied with a buttery mouthfeel and light carbonation. Long, very lightly bitter and pungent finish. Leaves a numb feeling (or lack thereof) on the tongue. I am now officially a big fan of Stoudts Brewing Co. I've enjoyed every beer I've tried from them. This one is no exception. Recommended!

Apr 26, 2003 Nice double...deep brown in color with a chocolatey, raisiny flavor that makes this beer worth trying.
