basewars (144), Albany, New York, USA May 8, 2009 Pours dark ruby with thick, quickly dissipating head. Aroma is fruity with some yeasty notes. Light on the palate. Flavor has plenty of fruit: cherries, raisins and fig. Tastes of cola. Jblauvs (530), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA May 7, 2009 Dark pour, fizzy offwhite head,
deep fruit, plum and fig, also some vinous aromas. intense fruit flavors, some roast, this beer is really intense, but an incredible offering, one of my favorite offerings from Unibroue Avengedpoet (325), Mesa, Arizona, USA Apr 30, 2009 Pours a very dark ruby/purple, almost like a really dark wine like a port or sherry. Very minimal white head. Aroma of wheat, candi sugar, plums, and figs. Taste is quite heavy on the palate, but with really vigorous carbonation. The high level of carbonation and roasty malts really dry out the palate. Decent beer, but not as good as most of their other offerings. mspindler (301), Alta Loma, California, USA Apr 30, 2009 On tap at The Yard House. Pours a dark cola brown with a tan ring of foam. Aroma is fruity with bananas pears and raisins and hints of chocolate and spice. Flavor is more of the same fruits and quite a bit more spicy and tart than the aroma suggests. Not really sweet but not really dry either. A hint of molasses, figs, and cherries as well. Full bodied, but not sticky. Light carbonation. Aggy360 (115), Anchorage/ Vista,CA, Alaska, USA Apr 30, 2009 Dark almost black with a red hue. Big tan head, no lace. Very sweet fruit smell. Malty and fruity taste. Very smooth, creamy medium bodied. Too much raisin taste for my liking. Not bad, just not for me right now. monkeychugg55 (207), Joliet, Illinois, USA Apr 25, 2009 Updated: May 19, 200912 oz bottle @ Lunar. Pours a opaque dark nut brown with a beige head. Aroma is yeasty and fruity, with good amount of malts. Flavor was pretty complex...mixed dark fruit with roasted chocolate malt and a dry, crisp yeast finish. Not too shabby. DigitalMan (113), Idaho, USA Apr 21, 2009 Updated: Apr 23, 2009Although I find it hard to believe that I pretty much hated such a highly acclaimed beer, it was terrible. Had elements of a fermented/funked out cheese smell and taste. What wasn’t funky was cloyingly fruity. phukktifano (159), Richmond, Virginia, USA Apr 20, 2009 Dark brown with tan head. Aroma is yeast, spice and sweet malt. Flavor is the same with bread.
