375mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of wood, cocktail barrels, some light burnt caramel and roasted malt. Flavour is very boozy, with lots of wood, cocktail barrels, and tons of booze, with a bit of roasted malt underneath. Very boozy - the cocktail barrels seem to obscure this quite a bit. Fun, but harsh and too boozy.

375mL bottle, pours a deep dark red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of vermouth, dark fruits, caramel, and fruity cocktail notes. Flavour is intense, with lots of alcohol, caramel, dark fruits, cocktails and some caramel. Boozy but complex and unique. Certainly hot, but it's quite a nice sipper.

375mL bottle, pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma reveals dried tart cherries, red wine barrels, and wood. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart dried cherries, moderate acidity, and some red wine tannins. Oaky, tannic and moderately acidic. Not particularly complex, but it's nicely balanced. Good stuff.

375ml bottle - pours a dark purple - nose is moderate wood, some plum, turbinado sugar, cherries - well-masked alcohol - flavor is sweet but not cloying, with some bitterness and wood to temper it - dark fruit, some chocolate - lacks the yeast expression you'd expect, without any solid presence of any phenols that general add depth and complexity to this style, just a little pepper on the end - the end result, then is something kind of uninspiring, one-dimensional, and bland.

Bottle - fizzy purple pour - nose and flavor are heavy on oak, vanilla, toasted coconut, cherry, plum - a moderate metallic/copper twang - caramelized sugars and dark fruit on the tail end - boozy finish - it's okay.

Hazy golden color. Aroma of barrels, parmesan, cheese, plastic. Soft and carbonated mouthfeel, banana esters, candies, fudge, and burning alcohol.
This is the example of wrong American attempts at Belgian beers.
