Oct 8, 2008 Pours an extremely dark brown color with a thick light beige head. Dissipates after a few seconds. The nose is dark roasted nuts, brandy, alcohol, plums, and maybe even some chocolate. The first things I notice about this is the rich body. Very creamy mouthfeel. There is some strong dark fruit flavors, a pretty pronounced alcohol flavor, a nice yeast undertone and a good bitter lingering flavor. Well balanced. Couldn’t have too many, but that is probably better with a 9 % ABV.

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Very dark brown, almost black with excellent dense head. Pleasant somewhat fruity aroma with hints of marmalade and raisins. Medium body with wonderfull carbonation. Somewhat fruity refreshing foretaste with a rich aftertaste that verges on cloying, almost balanced with some bitterness. A great beer.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Black with a small but thick head. Kind of shy but nice fruity aroma. Wonderfull taste! Sweet like a belgian blonde and elegant like a barley wine. Complex, yet easy to drink. Sweet and choclatey.
