Nov 25, 2009 750ml. amber with a small fading head. aroma has distinct notes of hops, booze, and malty sweetness. Flavor is sweet malty with a very dry finish. Big Punch, big brew, lot to handle. Maybe a little too much to handle.

Nov 22, 2009 Pours orange/copper with a fluffy beige head and an earthy aroma of eggs and fruit. The flavor starts with malt sweetness, but soon turns sour with a bitter, slightly astringent finish. A bit too strange for my taste.

Nov 17, 2009 I was very disappointed with this one. I might have let it age to long it was bottled in 9/06 and I tried 11/09. It was still very sweet with a lot of carbonation but it had a bitter aftertaste that did not go with the floral taste and smell. I was expecting more since it was made by victory.

Pretty dark pour with little head. Taste is heavy on the alcohol. The beer doesn’t hide the alcohol at all and the spices,hops, and whatever else is in it tastes piss poor. I try to keep my rating vocabulary somewhat proper, but this beer was terribad. One of the few Victory beer that I haven’t liked.

Nov 8, 2009 750mL. Poured into trappist glass.
This pours a clear strawberry, light red with a thin, off-white head that has no retention and leaves no lacing. Aroma is musty, esters, some spice, sweet light candies. Overall, this is one of the worst beers I’ve tried- it is just so bad. The taste is incredible cloying alcohol, sweet strawberry pancake syrup, sickly sweet stale candies. This was- I’m so sorry to say- a drain pour.

Oct 29, 2009 Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours cloudy orangish amber with a moderate, foamy off-white head. Aroma of cherries, roasted malts, walnuts, grapes, oak, and traces of hops and barley. Full bodied. Medium, smooth mouthfeel. Slight alcohol taste, but it is offset by the nice warming in the finish. Very good Belgian strong from Victory.

Oct 25, 2009 Hazy Orange pour with a thin, lasting white head. Aroma is Yeasty, Some Candi sugars and some spicey fruit. Flavor is sweeter than the aroma, brown sugar and date fruit. A touch of yeast gives it a bit of spiciness. The alcohol is very well masked but gives the beer a robustness. Relatively simple but a good brew
