Nov 16, 2004 Fruity aroma of grape bubblegum. Dark maple brown, good 750 Belgian bottle, OK label, glass-coating head. Intially, some off-tasting flavors -- sewage-like rotting fruit, but then that gave way to just a mix of artificial grape and cocoa and light hazelnut. Quickish finish for such a strong flavor profile. Light spiciness with medium-heavy sweetness. I wouldn’t buy it again.

Jan 11, 2005 Bottle pours dark brown with a hint of plum, large foamy sand colored head, with attractive lacing. Fruity aroma, bready, sweet with a touch of alcohol. Malty/bready up front, candy like sweetness, with a licorice based aftertaste. Drink this one at slightly below room temp otherwise the sweetness is very cloying, like cough syrup. Decent body, but rather average mouthfeel. Finishes sweet, bready, with lingering bits of licorice. Decent, but perhaps a bit overly sweet.

Jun 13, 2008 Looks and smells nice enough but strong. I didn’t like this one. My stomach cramped up immediately. It was very fruity in character for me and just not good.
