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.

1/2 inch white head on top of a hazy dark auburn beer. Chestnut and tree bark aromas. Also some blueberry and cherry. Smooth, quaffable palate that is a nice feature for a strong beer. Alcohol is only detectable when I drink the beer with food; otherwise barely noticeable. Soft mouthfeel. Thin with woody flavors. Better described by what it isn’t: not sweet, not fruity, not edgy, not chewy. Nice realm for a dubbel to sit in. Simple yet solid.

Dark copper, small bubbles as with all their other taps. Rich raisins, bitrter chocolate, some sour notes. Once warmed up the flavors come out, including some funky tropical fruit, rich malts but not too sweet.
