12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 7/22/2015. Pours nearly opaque dark brown/black color with a 1 finger fairly dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big raisin, prune, fig, cherry, date, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, pepper, clove, light licorice/banana, toasted biscuit, light roast, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of fruity/spicy yeast and dark/bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of huge raisin, prune, fig, cherry, date, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, pepper, clove, light licorice/banana, toasted biscuit, light roast, herbal, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of raisin, prune, fig, cherry, date, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, pepper, clove, toasted biscuit, light roast, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/spiciness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an incredible Belgian strong dark ale. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast and dark/bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the big ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Draft - Dark malts, plum and berries. Deep jet brown with almost no head. Dark fruit, light berry and a light long finish. Not quite the body but still decent.

Half gallon growler courtesy of my little sister Lori! Thanks again. Pours clear ruby mahogany with thin white head. The aroma is sweet apple, sugary grapes, some beats, ripe rich plums and some yeast. The taste is nice and sweet with red apples, dates, plums, sugar soaked raisins, some beat sugar and a mild level of spicy yeastiness. Nice offering.

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Deep murky red-brown body, thick tight cream tan head. Estery nose, bananas and clove in addition to brown sugar and toasty malts. Complex body, with notes of clove, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, dark fruit, grapes, and bubblegum, almost cola-like, quite leathery/salty, with modest alcohol presence. Quite enjoyable.
