Dec 3, 2007 750ml bottle shared at December 1st Jennerfest, back-to-back with Victory Storm King Imperial Stout and Bush Noel. Soupy brown pour with red glowy edges and thick with bits. Nose ripe with grapeskin, chewy dark fruit, silky chocolate malt, toffee, soy, lactic yoghurty touches and wet leaves. Blood and iron. Licking chocolate spread off the inside of a barrel. Mellow velvety chocolate malt, apple, sultana and earthy dankness. Lurking hop pepperiness wafting gently with booze. Fruitier and more strawberryish aromas emerging as it warms. Amazing smelling ale. Caramelised candy sugar and treacle. A beer that made everybody very happy. Apart from Keith.

Nov 26, 2007 Yum! 750 from Whole Foods, Durham. This one is certainly a delight, one of the best strong Belgian browns going (particularly for the reasonable price). A deep ruby-to-brown pour, with slight translucence. The body is thick and lively, with a big lasting head and floaties, floaties, floaties. The aroma is fairly potent, with plum and fig coming on strong. The body - fairly full, but not as lively as the head would lead you to believe - bears this out, adding some subtle clove and anise to the mix. Long, rich, dark fruit finish. Excellent.

Nov 26, 2007 Pours a very dark reddish brown color with a tan head. Nice malty aroma with hints of dark berries. Very smooth drinking beer with a sweetnes that is a nice compliment to the slightly roasted malt flavor.

Nov 21, 2007 Many thanks to ( mcbackus ) for trading this to me. 750ml. Holding the bottle up to the light I can see about three inches of sediment floating around the bottem of the bottle. Does this frighten me???? NOPE! Bring it on!! Time to break out my DE KONINCK glass. Pours a darkish murky brown with a small head and a good amount of sediment which I have no problem with. Aroma is boozy ripened fruits, malts and mild tartness. Flavor is sweet malts, fermented fruits, yeasts and touches of oak. The mouthfeel is lively and has some snap to it. Overall it is wonderful. Imagine that... Another wonderful Belgian beer.

Nov 19, 2007 Bottle. Pours deep mahogany coloured. Tan on the head. Don´t know if this one was to old but it has lots of sediment in it. Actually to much to drink the whole one. To bad!! Anyway, the aroma is strong and intense. Burnt sugar, candy, malt, sweet and yeasty. Flavor has dark druits, sweet malt and little woody. Complex.
