On tap. Dark brown pour. Nutty and cocoa powder aroma, molasses. Flavor is again nutty and cocoa powder, molasses, creamy, and a touch roasty. Pretty tasty to me.

Poured up on tap at Rochester Tap Room (in MI) where it exhibits a clear copper body that supports a near white head. The aroma offers up malt sweetened pine hops, some mango and pineapple cotton candy into the end of the draw. The taste delivers firm levels of resiny pine hops and then some mango and pineapple. It becomes more mango and guava like toward the finish. Pretty nice with persistent levels of resiny hop bitterness.

Sample at Bridge Street Tap Room. This beer is a reddish-orange color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lace. Citrus, hops and yeast in the nose. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, malt and fruity yeast. The finish is mildly bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle. Decent stout that doesn’t drink like 8.5 ABV. Hints of chocolate, roast coffee, and a bit of sweetness. But not syrupy, too chocolately or like a coffe drink.

Ok. It has a lot of conflict going on with the taste and it really doesn't taste Belgian (to my uneducated palate). Slightly hoppy. A bit weak body for 9.5ABV. But there is something I can't put my finger on that makes me like this beer. A little spice, some coffee, fig, raisin, cherry. . . I'm not sure. Try it. You will either like it or hate it.
