Deep brown coloured, medium sized beige head, dark fruits and malty nose. Sweet malty, dried fruits and alcohol with notes of spices and caramel. Well balanced. For sure it’s nice beer but in my opinion a bit overrated. Fin (3626), Merton, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 14, 2010 Bottle that I picked up at Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgium, 08-03-10 consumed 11-03-10 Pours brown with some haze and there is a slight reddiness to this as you hold it towards the light.There is a beige head atop but this soon departed. Very clean nose. This isn’t as sweet or as malty as I expected, there is dried fruits, cane sugar, some caramel and a hint of chocolate.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 5, 2010 Bottle. Moderate milk chocolate for the malt, light cooked orange for the hops, moderate dough and earth for the yeast, with date toffe and brown sugar in the background. Head starts large ends up thin, frothy, off-white with very little lacing but good legs and is eventually fully diminishing. Color is slightly hazy red/brown with a lot of small particles. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic then finishes lightly to moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is on the fuller side of medium, oily with a lively to fizzy carbonation and has a dry finish. A nice deep and rich Belgian Strong Ale. The particles are a little scary, but this would only keep away the beer pleebs. cgreb (245), Marburg, Germany
