Pours a muddy orangish brown with a tan head, large number of solids in this bottle. I found this with the Brune as well. Aroma of dark fruit, tart cherries, spice, spice belgian yeast, and sweet malt. Taste is predominantly tart and sweet, with some mild spice and belgian yeast coming in as well. Body is well carbonated and medium bodied. Overall, a solid belgian ale.

bottle, pours an amber with a quickly dissapating head. Aroma is raisin, clove, and carmel malt. Flavor is rich with sweet dark sugars and malts, applesauce, green raisins and not a trace of the 9.5%. Awesome

Great Belgian Strong. Pours hazy dark orangish brown with medium tan head. Aromas of sweet cherries, chocolate and yeast. Flavors similar but with a more caramel. Great beer that is a must try.

Bottle from Majestic. Nice start to it and a good taste, but it was a little too sweet for me.
