HIGHB4LL (837) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - JAN 23, 2014
From growler thanks to Cait. Appearance: Small tannish white head that diminished quickly, deep amber color, clear, Aroma: caramel, nuts, roasty, floral, grass, herbs, dried fruit. Palate: medium body, sticky texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. Taste: very rich sweetness up front, followed on the back end by a building hoppiness. Overall, very good, well balanced, complex, very nice.

notalush (5458) - Denver, Colorado, USA - JAN 2, 2013
Tap at Equinox - hazy amber - nose of toasted grain, brown sugar, roasted nuts - does not taste belgian at all - more like n English strong ale - medium.bitter, with flavors of toffee, toasted maltiness, earthy hops, a bit of buttered toast and rolled oats - not bad, but certainly not belgian.

BlackForestCO (978) - Aurora, Colorado, USA - JAN 23, 2011
On tap at the brewery. Poured a muddled copper-brown color with a thin off-white head. The aroma was muted as a whole, but there was some light toasted malt and hints of citrus (orange) and earthy hops. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some light citrus fruit leads into a lightly bitter, leafy hoppiness with hints of apricot and tangerine that lingered into a toasty, biscuity dry finish. Low carbonation and smooth mouth feel. Overall, I really wish the aroma would have been a bit more aggressive, because the flavor was unexpectedly good. This beer was actually more enjoyable than the scored I have given it, I just wish the aroma would have pulled its weight.

Tap at the brewery. Hazy brown appearance with cream colored head. Sweet and a light candy sugar, brown malty aroma. Flavor is pretty sweet, brown malty with a candy sugar. Sweet finish.
