Very dark, coffee color - full rich body - staying head - effervescent nose - soft velvet feeling in the mouth - luscious. Malt character with a hoppy aftertouch. Monks used to fast on this type of beer for 40 days! No food, only beer.

Bottle from LCBO. Drank alongside a Djarum Cigarillo. Lots of head on this guy. Moderately dark pour, with a sweet flowery smell with a slight scent of dates. Mouthfeel was medium-bodied with a moderately complex palate. Malt, blueberries & syrup in the flavour, with spice on the finish. Fairly enjoyable Belgian Ale.

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, yet easy to drink, hazy, rocky head, nice brew, but not a topper

White solid foam. Nice dark amber colour. Phenolic aroma. Some acid in taste!

Bottle, very fleeting aroma that I’d discribe as yeasty. Pours dark brown with a nice light brown head. Crisp taste with just a hint of tart. Lots of CO2 finishes quickly. Not alot going on with this one but very drinkable and rather refreshing.

Cloudy mahogany with an airy beige lacy head. Aroma of toasted malts, grainy yeast, fruit, alcohol, sugar and biscuits. Taste of fruit, plum, alcohol, sugar and nuts. Chewy body that’s over-carbonated and finishes akin to diet cola with some dryness involved.

11.2 ounce bottle from a mixed 6 pack that was purchased at the Davis Food Co-Op. Aroma is a bit bready, yeasty, roasted, with some sour notes. Also has some sort of floral church incense aromas. Weird aroma. Doesn’t smell "right". Transparent cola-colored body with a very large frothy khaki head. Very foamy. Lightly sweet start with some very faint grainy, chocolate flavors with a little estery yeast flavors. Um, this is relatively flavorless and pretty boring. Uninspired.
