| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 29, 2008 GUSHER on steriods!!! This beer oozed from the bottle for at least 5 minutes. Once through the foam, a dark chocolate brew appeared. Unique in that it exhibited both banana & clove, as well as darker qualities. More apparent were the roasted malt, raisin, and plum. A little thinner than one would want. Very flavorful. Hophead22 (1090), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2008 750 bottle. Poured a very dark brown, light tan head. Malty aroma, a bit thin. Slightly sweet, with a little roastiness in the backround. pretty good. Pwn3d (1073), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 4, 2009 Draft at Blind Tiger. This was the star of the night for me. Deep black pour with sizable mocha brown head atop. Mouth is rich dark berrys, cocoa, coffee and a slight hint of smoke. Mixed in the background - yeast and coriander tie this brew together. Bubbly, but soft..not astringent or aggressive at all. Everything works. Really, really awesome. papajohn (1055), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA

Aroma of black cherries with some belgian spice. Flavor is dark fruit (raisin, plum, cherries) with a peppery bitterness and fruity dry finish. Light-medium body is thin with very lively carbonation. Kinda Trois Pistoles like. rustychiles (1055), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 28, 2009 Pours a deep hazy brown with a foamy light brown head. Aroma is yeast, wheat, esthers, malts.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 4, 2009 On tap at brewery. Hard to know what to say about this one. Almost like a schwarzbier crossed with a Belgian White. Chocolate malt and soft roasts come through, along with typical Belgian white spices (coriander, etc). Mouthfeel is light, clean, and slightly dry. An interesting offering overall. jredmond (1040), New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with off white head - tons of sediment at the bottom of my glass. Aroma is yeast, some farmhouse funk, and some floral notes. The taste is roasty - like a schwartz - but finishes smooth and yeasty. Great belgian beer.
