330 mL bottle from St. Veronus. Can’t believe I’ve never tried this one before. Deep, dark ruby brown with a small beige head. Malty aroma with some dark fruit and spice. Lots of anise in the flavour, with some malt, dried fruit and a little smoke. One of the heavier beers I’ve tried, perhaps due to the relatively light carbonation. All-in-all, a very tasty brew.

Dec 29, 2009 Updated: Dec 30, 2009Light but very tasty brown ale. Sweetness is held back, giving way to lots of complexity. Flavors of caramel, liquorice. Dry finish. Excellent.

Dec 28, 2009 Hazy amber big white head, lasting... Big notes of cherry in both the aroma and flavor, not very carbonated, a touch boozy, complexly aromatic, medium bodied, dry finish, a touch hoppy throughout, intensely complex, huge notes of fruits and malts, with an element of belgian yeastiness underlying but not dominating... World Class...

Dec 22, 2009 Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Pours a darkish red/brown. Aromas of spice, coriander, yeast, and alcohol. Flavor has an alcohol taste to it, mixed with a nice smokey dark fruit. Also has strong hints of spice and orange.

Dec 14, 2009 Dark amber/brown color, light brown head. Very complex aroma: malty, fruity and a bit spicy. Alchoolic.
A wonderful sweetness with a nice carbonation. Medium to full body.
Just a bit of bitter in the end balances the taste. Cannot find wrong points in this beer. A must to drink in my opinion.

Dec 12, 2009 Pours a burnt red with a modest amount of carbonation and a creamy white head. This bear possesses an interesting variety of flavors and aromas. There is a prominent aroma of malt with some underlying notes of hops and prunes. The taste is an interesting blend of malt, yeast, and noticeable banana. The brew is moderately thick and there is an unctuous residual flavor that is left on the palate.
