22 oz. bottle, sent from Elliesbrown (thanks a lot, Zack), pours a deep dark murky reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma of dark fruits (plums especially), brown sugar, and some toasted nuts. Flavour of toasted nuts, plums, brown sugar and more plums - not really a traditional "Belgian" beer, but full of delicious plum complexity. No ABV detectable at all, with quite a complex palate, finishing on notes of plums, brown sugar and a bit of yeast. Becomes slightly cloying after a while, but not in too detracting a way.

Thanks to beerman6686, I had an opportunity to try this at the 2nd Pgh Tasting on the 2nd. It was from an unlabeled big brown bottle. Looks like cream soda and has a head like cream soda too. The big head fades but it leaves a continuous quarter inch layer. Has a somewhat flowery sweet perfumy aroma about it. Perhaps the aroma is even a little alarming. Taste is not as strong as the 9.2% would indicate and it hides its alky content well. Flavor is quite unique; rootbeer, birch beer perhaps even clove in there. Funky fer sure but not in a lambic kinda way. Again, no way is this 9%+! Odd things in the taste of this barefoot buddha buddy. Rather mild but yet leathery at times. Finish is almost soda pop in nature. Not bad overall. Either I am becoming null to these high alky beers or perhps these beers are just getting better. Big thanks to Dan for the chance to taste this muthhah buddah.
