On tap at the brewpub. Pours murky brown with one inch head of tan foam. In the aroma I get blunted and nearly musty dark fruity esters of prunes, dates and sweet black grapes to go along with smooth yeasty spice and dark brown candi sugar. The taste begins with both rich and creamy dark fruitiness from sweet grapes, prunes, figs, pears and sugar ripe plums. It then picks up mild notes of some dark candi sugar as in the nose along with earthiness and spices. Very nice offering with plenty of interesting and smooth yumminess.

On tap at Abbey. Reddish brown "nut" colour. Very light skiff. Smells like alcohol. Dominant alcohol with sweet caramel underneath. Seems a little plain. Like a dirty triple.

<b>Pint - Abbey Brewing - Miami Beach, Fl <br /></b> Aroma – Strong Belgian aroma, good malt background.<br /> Appearance – Reddish brown in color, Nice thin head and clear. <br /> Flavor – Nice Belgian flavor with a good use of malts and spices. <br /> Palate – Good Mouthfeel, nice texture with a great Belgian finish. <br /> Overall – Very nice Belgian ale.

Has a nice reddish-brown glow. Thin head. Malty nose with plums, raisins and a hint of brown sugar. Firm alcohol grips the palate, leaving burnt fruits and traces of chocolate in its wake. Finishes with a mix of alcoholic dryness and sweet apricot, fig and raisin. Interesting the way this beer approaches you, but it retains a style and class that puts it ahead of its peers.

Of the 3 on tap that I had, this was my least favorite. Tasted a bit thin and not as full as I would have expected. I was told that this beer was just released and had not fully developed. Still it was pretty good.
