Feb 19, 2008 Mar. 2007 - Dark amber pour, little head or lacing. Weird butterscotch "off" flavor. Flavor was dark fruits but the odd butterscotchy off flavor was distracting and unpleasant.

Feb 17, 2008 A Mes rate: 33cl bottle from Quaffs, thanks to Reakt.
Semi hazy very dark brown with a pretty impressive beige head. Rich chocolate malt aroma with some dried fruit and a nice earthy character. More chocolate stuff in the flavour with a nice warmth from the alcohol. Burnt malt followed with some very slight hoppage that balances it out pretty nicely. Lingering tang at the sides of the palate gives it a slight vegetal note but not in a bad way. Not brimming with complexity but an enjoyable and intersting brew.

Feb 5, 2008 Dark red-amber beer with a creamy beige head. Neutral aroma. Nice flavours: caramel, coffee, burned malts and a hardly noticable sweetness at the end with some nice hopps as well.

Feb 4, 2008 bottle poured at 1/28 Houston Tasting. Pours a cloudy, copper-brown color with a tan head. Smell was of dark fruit. Taste was of a Belgian - plums, sweet raisins, a bit earthy. Mouthfeel had alcohol noticeable. This was not bad, but not complex enough.

Feb 1, 2008 Orange/red mahogany with a nice, golden head. The aroma has sweetness, yeast, dark fruits, malt and caramel, and I find the same notes in the flavour. It has a nice body and balance, and the finish has a light and slightly dry bitterness.

Jan 31, 2008 Poured at the 1/28 Houston tasting. Dingy brown pour with good tan head and nice lacing. Rich vegetable nose...eggplant and celery...mixed with raisins. Flavor has a candied sweetness along with an odd corn and raisin flavor, almost like Raisin Bran. Rather thin and oily, with some heat.

Jan 31, 2008 750 ml bottle shared by Zinister, 5th bottle sampled at the 1/28 Houston tasting. Pour is brownish-orange with a one inch off-white head. Aroma of vegetables (celery, carrots) dark raisins, some candy sugar sweetness. Taste is raisin-molasses, some of the candy sweetness, which lingers a bit too long. Mouth coating, despite a fairly thin body. Interesting, but not extraordinary. Thanks for sharing Mike.
