Dec 12, 2009 Draft at wrigleyville. Pours clear orange little head, decent lacing. Rich caramel aroma with some vanilla and raisin. Incredibly sweet but balanced well. Somewhat funky caramel finish that I can’t place. A little bit of roastiness lingers on the tongue as well. Doesn’t seem like Belgian yeast but more like an American strong. Solid beer with abv hidden well.

Dec 1, 2009 22oz - Nose was sweet like a raisin with some yeast. Plate reminded me of a sherry, with some alcohol heat on the end. Nicely done but unremarkable.

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks zvikar. 09 bottle. Reddish-amber color. Caramelly and fruity aroma with some flowery notes and wood hints. Very sweet alcoholic flavor, malty and fruity. Finishes dry with some spiciness. Medium to full-bodied. Feels one-dimensional.

Nov 26, 2009 From bottle shared with awiseman and brother Eric. Aroma is very light and sweet with perhaps a nutty component. Reminds me of sweet potato casserole (perhaps because its thanksgiving and i just had some). In any case, pours dark orange, especially for a belgian, with minimal tan head. Taste is creamy caramel with some citrus and a fair amount of carbonation. Haven’t had too many belgians, but this is definitely my favorite.

Nov 26, 2009 Shared bomber thanks to Brother Eric. Pours very cloudy dark burnt orange. Nose is very sweet and caramely with belgian notes. Flavor is clean, smooth caramel malt, some sugar and slight citrus notes. Almost creamy, very pleasing.

Nov 25, 2009 Quickly descending head that leaves lacing in the center of the glass. Cloudy mud brown color. Raspberry and other fruits are all over the aroma. Also smells a little like cake. Taste is kind of yeasty and tons of fruit. Alcohol is well covered. There is a slight hoppiness. Sweet, but not too much for it to be cloying. Quite good.
