Jul 31, 2006 Updated: Mar 24, 200712oz, Best Before 01-26-09. Pours a dark red-brown with a huge fluffy light beige head. Aroma is of brown sugar, caramel, yeast, banana, apples,figs--lots of fruits. There is a cherry tartness addition in the taste. Full bodied, moderate carbonation, some alcohol warmth, creamy mouthfeel, dry finish.

Oct 3, 2004 Pretty nice! Poured a hazy dark red with a moderate sized even after a fast pour. Nice head to start out but died quickly and left a slippery lace that didn’t stick. This saddened me.
Nice fragrance on this one but nothing special. Dark fruits, bready malts and yeast. High alcohol well hidden in the aroma.
Outstanding flavor! Raisins, yeast, plums, prunes, buttered bread and alcohol. Very smooth going down with great mouthfeel.

Sep 20, 2004 Updated: Sep 23, 2004Draft. I came to this beer the long way around. This was one of the beers tapped at the Oak Lawn "Fall on the Green" Festival the weekend. My homebrew club, <a href=http://www.bossbeer.org target=blank>BOSS, volunteers to pour the "good" beers, in return, we get to keep the leftovers for our picnic the following weekend (the village buys the beer, and their license is only good for the three days. If we didn’t take it, they’d have had to pour it out! <font color=blue>Sacré!</font>) I couldn’t make the picnic, but came in Sunday to help clean up, and this was still flowing! So after all that...
Pours a lovely brown. By this time, the head is kicking up pretty frothily, understandably. Has a great taste that to me gave just a light impression of cherries, more from the yeast character. Also a well-balanced spiciness that stays in the background for support. Overall great malty taste. This probably wasn’t the best condition for trying it out in, but it held up very well. I even filled a growler for later!

Nov 23, 2003 Pours a very cloudy amber with a head composed of small bubbles that is fading quickly, leaving bits of lace. Big apple aroma at the beginning sloping down into some malt and some hops. Very nice. Flavor reflects the aromas. Ripe fruit (apple and pear) start out this enjoyable beer, leading into a bit of a bready/yeast flavor. The body is slightly carbonated with a musky finish, but that's not the right word I'm looking for. The alcohol is very well covered up and this happens to be a very balanced Belgian.

Feb 19, 2007 Beer #2 in Linus Stick’s Belgian Adventure. How unique this beer is. The aroma was of yeast, fruit and some malt. The taste was full. If you took dates, plums and malt and put them in an oven for an hour, put them in a blender and added alocohol you would have this. Delicious and different.

Sep 9, 2007 Pour from a 12 Oz Bottle. 5 years old. Aroma is dominated by and old nuttiness, lightly dusty caramels and sweet vapor. Pours of ruddied mahogany, soapy lightly in off-white. Flavor behaves similarly aged, with sherried, oxidized yeast. There’s unique and peculiar spice musk and dried fruit, but everything is very muddled and mixed. Finishes a nip sticky.

Aug 11, 2007 355 ml, bb 02 22 10. Dark brown-black with a medium, lasting head. Aroma of bubblegum, yeast, and peppercorns. Flavor is all spicy bubblegum; maybe some licorice, slight dark fruit and alcohol. Palate is medium bodied, and tingly. Good, but not really a very complex flavor profile. I like malty beers, but this one seems sweet in mostly the wrong ways - dominating taste of spicy bubblegum overpowers anything else that might be there. Many better Belgians out there. Overrated.
