Dec 31, 2007 One of joebrew’s favorite beers that is repeated at a few past Cellar’s weekly beer tasting in St Paul, MN. Pours a semi-hazy dark amber brew with a thin light tan head that slowly dissipates to a fine film and light tan ring. Aroma of dark roasted caramel malt, some light Belgian yeast, dark pitted fruit and a touch of vanilla. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, dark fruit, some flowery hops and a touch of vanilla. Finish has a dry bitterness and a slight spiciness aftertaste with flavors of yeast and caramel malt.

Dec 30, 2007 Bottle. [thanks to my mate, Øster, for bringing this from the States]
Pours a muddy dark mahogany red with lots of particles in the liquid. On top there sits a small creamy off white head. Aroma is powerful with lots of dark, dried fruits. Lots of plums, raisins, some oak and dark caramel. Thick and creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is initially a little underwhelming with a thinnish feel to the fruitiness. There is a light bitterness with a roasted feel at the end. This is good, but nowhere any higher standards in the style.

Dec 26, 2007 One of my more favorite Belgian Strong Ales. Hazy orange color with a soft white head. Aroma is malty. Taste is not as sweet as some. The sweetness is what usually turns me off. Hop bite at the finish.
