Pretty typical DBSA. Dark brown, high carbonation. Fruity nose and taste. Easy to drink.

Bottle. Floral nose with dark fruit. Pours a medium brown with a fine-grained head. Medium roast predominant, with spice and honey notes and a touch of Belgian about it. Mouthfeel is sharp. Good.

Sample at GABF on 9-18-2010. Cloudy brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of caramel, citrus hops and dark fruit. Tastes of toffee, dark fruit, alcohol and some hops. Very enjoyable!

I’m not entirely sure what was going on here, but I did like it. Not much hop, but rather smooth malt and a lot of mellow flavors throughout. VERY easy drinking for a high abv beer, so watch that. Not what I usually go for, but enjoyable.

Sample at KØ-2010. Amber colour with a beige head. Aroma is dried fruits, alcohol, roasted malt. Flavour is dried fruits, alcohol, sugar, roasted malt, citrus , hop. Nice beer.

Great caramel malts. Reminds me of Chimay Blue, but I think I prefer this. Could see this going really well at the dinner table with spicy food, especially mole or Indian, due to the body and sweetness or with a pork loin or roasted chicken.

Sampled at GABF on 9/17/2010. This Belgian Strong Ale pours a light brown color from a 750ml bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity, yeasty and sweet. A medium bodied Belgian Strong Ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, lots of apricots and peaches. The hops are herbal. Lively carbonation. Nice balance. Very drinkable. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

750ml bottle bought in Providence. Pours a cloudy dark brown color with foamy tan head and nice lace. Aroma is a nice sweet malt and bready yeast combination. Flavor is sweet malt, dried fruit, figs, and bready yeast, Citrus peel bitter slightly noticeably, alcohol noticeable but not overpowering.
