A: deep brown, cloudy, lacy head that thins out and remains for a while. S: raisins, figs, caramel, black cherry, booze. T: very strong alcohol punch, then balanced by dark fruits, caramel, and malts. Almost a rum aftertaste when warmer. M: huge, velvety, warming, and smooth. O: Lives up to the hype! Exceptional beer. Extremely flavorful and intense, yet balanced and drinkable.

Incredible. Very complex but worth the money to at least try it once.

A very smooth, sweet, malty beer. The sweetness of the beer is cut by the alcohol, but the alcohol is not overbearing. This beer is dark in color but more in the middle of the color spectrum. A great beer that lives up to the hype!

Did a blind tasting with the St. Bernardus 12 and Rochefort 10. While this beer was a bit more potent and had more of a bite to it, it by no means lives up to its reputation.

Incredibly smooth with a sweet finish. Good thing I bought 5 cases!

Awesome...certainly due to scarcity, but still flavorful and just overall great for all palates

Deep, dark raisin pour. Fascinatingly complex nose- dark fruits, malt, yeast. Heady and intoxicating- cascade of flavors ride on a wave of alcohol that's potent, but not off-putting, all over a subtle, bready base.
