Jan 30, 2008 Big boy bottle thanks to TikiE. Poured a strange hazy orange color. My half of the beer did not contain the sediment like my roomates, because he got the last pour. Aroma of yeast, caramel, plum and scotch alcohol presence. Great beer for a belgium style, Once again, Victory hasn’t let me down yet!!!!

Jan 30, 2008 Amazing smell, smells a bit like the Rochefort 10, and reminds me of a nice Chimay! Nice froathy head that disapears quickly the appearance is unique with a nice hazy orangish color with lots of sedement. Glad I got this one, need to hit up the local beer and wine store more often!

Jan 30, 2008 A great abbey style beer. Pours golden amber with a small white head.
Aroma is of malt with a good dose of hops.
You can definitely taste the 12%, but to me that’s not a bad thing. Wonderful mix of malt and hop flavors.
Another success by Victory.

Jan 24, 2008 Copper in color with a bit of red. The nose is filled with bread dough, caramel, banana, orange zest, baking spices and malt. In the mouth the beer has very solid weight and a lingering finish. The flavors follow that of the nose and linger on the finish. This is a wonderful beer that hides its 12% alcohol and is dangerously drinkable. While it may improve with bottle aging, it drinks great now.

Jan 22, 2008 6 months old or so. Pours mahogany with a small off-white head. Nose has just a faint hint of alcohol, very well masked for 12%. Flavor is a bit hot, but this beer is still young. Bready caramel flavors, fruity towards the finish. Some earthy woodiness comes from the toasted grain flavors. Spiced and earthy hops find themselves in the finish. Starting to pick up dryness, but this beer isn’t quite to its prime yet, although still a nice brew in its own.

Jan 20, 2008 March 2006 - It’s a shame....this was a beer with really nice potential, but a fatal flaw. Poured a nice looking orangish color with nice head. Aroma was sweet alcohol flavor. The flavor was complex with nice fruityness and malt chacter, a little hops and a nice mouthfeel, too. But the beer was just way too sweet...sickly sweet, which makes this a "not again for me" beer. I might buy it again and let it sit and age for a year or so, but "raw" this just isn’t it.

Jan 16, 2008 Poured like murky pond water with a nice amber head. Spice and some citrus were present. ALCOHOL was very present. Not my fav. but was alright if you like belgians.

Jan 14, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber color. Aroma consists of oranges, dark fruit, spice and some alcohol. Silky creaminess. Citrus and dark fruit flavors are most apparent and are complimented by some spice and alcohol in the finish.
