Dec 3, 2006 5 oz pours at Mugs Belgian Blast. Been waiting to try this for a while. Had it once from the bottom of the keg though. In general this is a strong, sweet, spiced belgian. It pours red with no head and pretty still. Aroma is strong, alcoholic sweetness, cherry, and winter spices. Not strong on the spices but present. Taste is pretty similar. I know a lot of my fellow RBers didnt enjoy this but it was nice for me.

Dec 2, 2006 Cellar’s Tasting. Dark golden color with a medium head. Spicy aroma of hops and maybe a pinch of corriander. The taste is mainly alcoholic. Dry malt and just a vague bit of hops. Meh, it’s okay, but I can hunt down more flavorful winter brews than this.
