Black color with minimal head. Still some lacing is left behind. Almost smells like a sour with the tequila influence. The tequila is a bit heavy handed as it dominates both aroma and taste. Have to dig a little bit to get to the base beer. Rather timid Belgian beer at the bottom of this. I really enjoyed this the first time I had #9, but the second time I had to lower the score.

Great tasting beer! It's a Belgian style Dark fermented with plums and aged in Tequila barrels.

It has a smooth "opening" on the palate with a nice hint of the tequila and plum from fermentation. No bad aftertaste either. All of the various flavors play together amazingly well. It would be great at any time either with food or alone. Truly a great beer.

Ultra cool label by "Fables" Comic Creator Bill Willingham is very nice as well. Won't be able to bring myself to throw out the bottles.

Limited release though. Only 300 bottles!
