Sep 27, 2008 Bottle from Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary, AB. An aroma of caramel, oak cask, floral hints and malts. Appearance is a cloudy dark brown colour with a little bit of carbonation and little to no head. Taste is sweet and a hint of bitter alcohol taste. A great strong beer. This could almost pass as a winter beer.

Sep 16, 2008 Good strong fruity aromas, slighty wine like with dried fruit accents. Dark brown color with a diminishing off white head. Flavor is light dried fruits and mild chocolate. Brown roasted malt. Very mild and delicate but good. Slight woodiness, sweet. Even palate with a enough richness but not overpowering. Nice.

Sep 8, 2008 Pours a clear, dark ruby brown with a small ringing khaki head. Strong aroma of dark over-ripe fruits like plums and cherries, along with some bready Belgian yeast. Wonderful sweetness upfront, very cherry like. The oak flavors fade in nicely and take over with an earthy taste that doesn’t linger very long but is pleasant. Nice full bodied flavor and texture.

Sep 2, 2008 A dark brown colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma of chocolate with dark malts, overripe dark fruits and toffee. The taste of chocolate with toffee, a little bitterness, smooth malt. The aftertaste has notes of port, with some lingering finish. A very good balanced beer.

Aug 23, 2008 Bottle, from Ryan’s restaurant beerfest. Too expensive at $8 a bottle. Ashamedly, I had this venerable brew at the end of a long night of drinking. But I tried very hard to hold concentration and develop an opinion on it! Aroma is heavy on the malt, but also has some sourness, wood, and a touch of smokiness. Flavor is quite full-bodied and complex. Overall, it produces a malty blend that is definitely a cousin of a brown ale. I tasted wood, malt, dark fruit, and a certain earthiness. It is heavy in your mouth, I can’t really explain it more. Kind of like a pretty, antique wood dresser that has been sitting unused in your living room. Not bad though, just weighty. Overall, I enjoyed this without maybe getting into it as much as I would have liked.
