Judges Comments:

2011 World Expo of Beer:  37 points - 16E Belgian Specality

 "Interesting and tasty. Do it again. Suggest a more estery Belgian strain and watch fermentation temps."

2011 1st round NHC Madison region: Judges remarks -  "Not the style listed.  Seems more like a Chimay clone or dark strong. Check bottles before submitting!" (ouch!)

  At 4-5 months stored in fridge this beer has morphed.  The flavors and yeast have blended and you can barely recongnize the roast.  Dark, smooth, and creamy with chocolate and fruit in the nose, a very nice beer.   Two beers for the price of one!
