Aug 11, 2008 Bottle @ home. Amber colour, big white head. Aroma of caramel, sweet alcohol, yeast and spices. Flavour is sweet, spicy, alcoholic, fruity, some yeast. Bitter alcohol finish. The "new" version is softer and richer in taste than the old version. With a little more balance in flavours it would be a great beer.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle, Belgian Belly. Hazy amber brown colour with a thin white head. Aroma was spices, caramel and some fruit. Malty body. Flava was alcohol loaded and sweet with cloves and raisin present in the mix. Lingering dryish finish. Alcohol was not especially well hidden though which was a shame as on the whole this was really pretty good.

Aug 9, 2008 Deep amber orange brew with a nice sticky beige head. The aroma is quite nice. Rich sweet, lightly plummy aroma with a kiss of orange peel. There is a nice sweet Belgian yeastiness. Peppery and fruity with a soft plum/prune sweetness. The beer itself is sweet but not too sweet. Nice pear/peachiness with a rich plumminess and a bit of clove. On the back of the palate there is a light creamy palm sugar sweetness. Well balanced and quite tasty. A light lingering honeyish sweetness along the back. Warming brings up more sweet honeyed fruitiness and a nice sweet spicy yeastiness. Really tasty brew.

Aug 7, 2008 Aroma is a fruity yeast scent. Color is a golden amber with good carbonation and a thin tight head. Taste is rich, fruity and sweet. Starting with a full body creamy and rich. Finish comes in sweet with a dried fruit and Belgian yeast taste, then a caramel flavor. This is followed up with a sourness and an apple flavor in the after taste. This is an amazing brew, with a deep complex flavor.

Jul 12, 2008 Nice pour of brown hued cloudy ale with a creamy head. Aroma of barley and dark fruit. The alcohol is obvious, as the sweetness of the brew just can’t hide it. Still, quite a pleasant heavier style of Belgian dark ale. I like it, but enjoy the Urthel Hibernus Quentum more. It’s just not balanced. It’d be best on a cold winter’s eve.

Jul 11, 2008 11.2 oz bottle: Brownish red pour with a persistent head that quickly diminishes but sticks around and laces well. The big ole nose offers a full whiff of ether first, then opens up to smallish notes of burnt caramel, bitter chocolate and earth as well as some yeast inspired notes of plum and jungle fruits. Rich and creamy body. The malt profile is fantastic - creamy caramel, marshmellow, vanilla, toffee and on and on. The esthers add a nice complexity with bourbony plums and raisans. Drinks easy for the ABV, but definitely warms the stomach. Good stuff.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. Creamy off-white excellent mostly lasting head. Orange-amber colour. Heavy malty and hoppy aroma. Nice fruity powerfull flavor. Great long finish. Creamy palate. Good but lacks the power of the very best ABTS.
