33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 28.08.2012
Bottle starts to foam after opening and mixes up all the yeast – a very typical opening ceremony for this brewery.
Aroma has ripe fruits and toffee typical to an aged belgian ale. Flavour has ripe, dark fruits, apricot, licorice, some anise and spice. Nice and rich.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Ruby red pour with a great beige head and lacing with little bits of yeast floating around the glass. Vibrant floral bouquet, caramel, earthy and fruity. Medium carbonation and sweet from the caramel. It leaves a warmth in your mouth and would be great on a cold night. Quite complex but very tasty with raisins and slight red wine quality.

In the winter you can have good surprises... a very good beer looking like the Brune from the same brewery.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Deep brown with a pillowy off-white head. The nose is spicy and sweet, dark fruits, caramel, some alcohol. The taste is sweet, yeasty, a bit hot. Complex. The body’s full, the carbonation aggressive. Points marked down for the overabundance of yeasty bits. Overall, quite nice.
