Golden-amber. Bright. Some caramel and earthy aroma with a grapey fruitiness. Very sweet. Almost a syrupy malt character; not getting much barrel.

daknole (5474) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - JAN 2, 2009
Bottle, thanks to Oakes and Beershine!! Nice brown pour wtih a small light head. Aroma comes through with malt, bourbon, caramel, faint spices and woody notes. Flavor has a great bourbon backbone, yeast, wood, and has a great dry finish. I really liked this.

Slayer85 (862) - Firenze, ITALY - DEC 16, 2008
750 ml bottle. A hazy deep amber beer with a medium sized, creamy and quite persistent beige head. The aroma is malty and yeasty with notes of spices, fruits and some woodiness. Lightly toasty. The wood character is not overwhelming. The flavour is quite sweet and has some acidity. Fruity with notes of grapes and spicy. Once again the oakiness is balanced but present. Medium to full body, lively carbonation, dry and quite long finish with light to medium bitterness. Lightly alcoholic. Very good appearence and elegant both in nose and mouth. Underrated like their Tripel.

glennmastrange (1547) - hobe sound, Florida, USA - DEC 16, 2008
Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of dark bread and roasted, light perfume for the hops, moderate barnyard and earth for the yeast, with notes of pear, white wine and ginger. Head is rocky, off-white with fair lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is clear medium brown. Flavor starts moderately to heavily sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Palate is medium, creamy and has a lively carbonation. A huge complex Scotch Ale, and you can definitely taste the Belgian influence from this brewery.
