WesKBob (317), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA Mar 29, 2008 Pours a very dark, almost opaque, copper-brown with an extremely thick, foamy, long-lasting off-white head. Strong aroma of Belgian yeast and sweet fruit. Sweet, fruity taste. You don’t really get much of the alcohol flavor until the aftertaste, along with some malt and toffee hints. A tingly, carbonated mouthfeel. I won’t often say this, but this one could have probably been better with a little lower alcohol content. Still, a very, very good beer. toddkrem (78), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Mar 28, 2008 Very dark beer, poured straight into my glass and it almost overflowed with foam. Taste is smooth and similar to a good tasting wine but better. No bad taste at all. great beer. gringo332 (236), Richardson, Texas, USA Mar 26, 2008 Updated: Oct 11, 2008"Port wine" indeed. My all time favorite beer. I just which I was richer so I could drink it everyday. eep aroma of dark fruits and sweet malt. Solid flavor of plums, figs and a wine sweetness. Very carbonated. Very good beerdad (74), Kansas, USA Mar 25, 2008 Bottled. You can smell the alcohol right from the start. This combined with the fruit flavors is interesting. This pours a dark read brown with a highly carbonated head of creamy brown color. The flavors fall hand and hand with the aroma, fruits of cherry plum and possibly apricot, the crisp bite of herbs and alcohol. Smooth on the tongue, and the flavor lingers. This is one of my new favorites. cellardoor (45), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Mar 25, 2008 Had this in a bottle at Bailey’s Chocolate Bar in STL. Poured with a brown-reddish color and rather quickly disapperaing reddish head. The aroma was typically Belgian with sweet yeasty aroma combined with some plum and other soft dark fruits. There was little hop aroma and flavor. Flavors of mildly sweet fruits came through in the flavor as well as it eased into the finish. I almost seemed to cleanse the palate with each sip and made for an excellent dessert drink. I was shocked to see the 9% printed on the label. I had it with the most decadent brownie and ice cream which may have given this this beer the opportunity to offer a nice cleansing contrast. mybestfriend (261), Gothenburg, Sweden Mar 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy reddish brown colour with a tan head. Aroma is very yeasty and a bit fruity (sweet dried fruits). Flavour is very yeasy (and herby). It also has some earthy notes, some tartness and a harsh taste. But primarily this beer is yeasty. You can feel the alcohol in the finish. I think this beer will be so much better after some years in the cellar. milljam (562), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Mar 23, 2008 Very port-like beer. Deep aroma of dark fruits and sweet malt. Solid flavor of plums, figs and a wine sweetness. Very carbonated. Very good example of a Belgian and definitly enjoyable as an after-dinner or sipping beer in front of a fire. kidmartinek (972), austin, Texas, USA Mar 22, 2008 Mostly large bubble foam, dark brown pour. Obnoxious amount of foam, as is the case form most beligians. Smells like sweet apples and alcohol. Tastes like wild yeast acidic malt, sour ale. Rather light despite the color. More fruity than regular beer. What is it with you people and these belgians?? Oh if anything has 9% alcohol, it must be good right? And this one’s brewed in Canada by a Japanses company? Give me a break. Oh my God, it went down the drain, you know I’m just not in the mood for this shit,
drunk with 2 beers, mediocre apple juice, wine like beer.
