From bottle. Sweet aroma. Deep brown in colour, frothy white head. Lively ale. Sweet flavour of oak and nuts. Syrupy texture with a bitter sweet liquorice finish. Enjoyable beverage.

11.2 oz bottle pours slow and smooth with a distinct carmel/hops odor and dark color. Very carbonated at first and the head has staying power. Taste did not match the aroma. Would have been outstanding if it had but instead very disappointing.

I took a whiff of this and was expecting something special, sadly it was not what I hoping for. Aroma is very fruity and malty. The taste is thin and slightly tangy. Tangy to the point where it is not appealing to the Belgium Beer drinkers.

Ehh. I got this out of a 6-pack of belgian beers and was dissapointed in all of them. Such a shame. Not bad just not good.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with collapsing off-white head. Aroma is fruity. Sweet fruity flavour, light sourness too, I wonder if this was clean. Finish is much the same, quite stright forward.

UPDATED: APR 22, 2010 Bottle: Dense tan head that sits and sits. Pours a cloudy brown with a strong presence of cherries in the nose. A surprisingly light fruity and somewhat watery body. Appearance in the glass is not flattering. Finish is mellow and round with a bit of cherry pit tang.

Cloudy brown colored pour with medium sized head. Spicy, fruity aroma with a sweet malty finish.

330 ml. bottle. Pours red/brown with a big, rocky head. Aroma of fruit, chocolate, earth. Taste of chocolate, raisins, dark fruit. Nothing amazing, but quite good.
