Mar 30, 2007 1 pint 9.4 oz bottle. Caramel-copper in color from an easy pour. Bottle adds to the presentation effect. Limited, but icy head. Hoppy, yeasty, slightly sweet in aroma. Smooth, somewhat malty, high alcohol flavoring flows from tongue to the back of the throat and through the nostrils. I can feel the alcohol inling my skin. Very nice - my friend drinking a cognac opposite me right now is jealous.

Mar 14, 2007 750ml Bottle - pours a dark coppery clear with a compact persistent 1/4 foam, well carbonated. Aroma is sweet with beligan yeasty notes. Flavor when chilled is sweet raisins, malts and the belgian yeast flavors that get dominated by the alcohol present in the finish. The alcohol burn overwhelms the flavor as it warms.

Mar 11, 2007 Very good. Don’t drink too much of this one though. The alcohol is very well hidden until it warms up a bit then wow.

Mar 10, 2007 dense foamy short blanket of dense light tan head. body is orangey-amber, mostly clear. lots of fizz up the body. aroam is sweet malt, raisins in sherry, and a bit of tangerine zest. flavor is sweet & hot raisiny malt, with a little heat like brandy. seems like some hop bitterness is there but but obscured by the malty heat. dry heat aftertaste like mouthwash. bready malt. not as boozy as many BSAs though. thanks KHill!

Mar 10, 2007 Updated: Apr 14, 2007Complex, on the ester and yeast side of the street. A good beer to sip and think important thoughts over. Either that or enjoy the conversation of friends after a nice meal.

Mar 10, 2007 Less fruity than some Belgians. Quite sweet. Alcohol is well hidden. No hops that I could taste. Amber color.
