Jun 1, 2008 100th rate. Poured a deep red/brown, opaque, with a creamy tan head that had good retention. Subtle aromas of caramel with a bit of dark fruits. Taste was much more complex with mild cloves up front that were quickly pushed aside by the fruits, then caramels and molasses. A bit of chocolate was also detectable. Finishes slightly dry, with lingering sweetness and spices. Medium to full bodied, nice creamy texture with plenty of carbonation. A terrific beer.

May 30, 2008 Beer pours a dark brown with a thin head, the body is very clear. The nose is big Belgium; yeasty, malty and citrus mix with light spice notes. The nose doesn’t let down on the flavor; fresh bread with citrus and coriander mixed with dry sweetness. Good carbonated mouth feel.

May 23, 2008 Dark brown with tan head. Baby food fruit, pear and raisin bread aroma. Flavor has little match to aroma. Fairly simple malt, carmel and coffee flavor with a slight bitter finish. Fairly strong carbonation.

May 23, 2008 Brown, huge tan head. Aroma has nice banana, fig, prune combo. Yeast-bready character in the background. Flavor much the same, banana and fig. Toasty-bready, biscuity malt. Finishes with some light grape. Body is very thin at times, 3 is a stretch. Countless bottles of this, hoping for that mindblowing bottle, just don’t think it is going to happen.

May 21, 2008 Wonderfully caramel flavor with a lingering rasiny/spicey finish. How can you bash one of the cornerstones of the style?
