Jan 23, 2008 Pours a clear ruby color with a thin offwhite head. Aroma of burned caramel and berries. Flavor of burned caramel, berries, mildly roasted and smoked malt and mild bitterness in the end. Interesting.

Dec 14, 2007 <b>In short: </b>Standard toasted, caramelized and slightly fruity Belgian brown ale. On the dry side. Average for the style.<br />
<b>How: </b>Tap at brewpub, about a week after its release<br />
<b>The look: </b>Clear burgundy body with a medium off-white head.<br />
<b>In long: </b>Dry toasted bread with dry caramel and berries jam. Slightly buttery. Some unexpected banana notes, especially on the nose. Medium sweet and medium hopped, the beer is well balanced. A bit resinous in the finish and a little rot/wet dishcloth that bothered me a bit. Fizzy beer, the carbonation could have been more relaxed. Overall pretty dry. A very decent beer but to me this is a disappointment considering Benelux track record with Belgian Ales. Still, the dyslexic customer ordering a Bud should be pleasantly surprised.
