Pours a translucent brown amber with little to no head. Aroma of dark fruits, vanilla, Belgian spices, nuts and caramel. Flavors of the same, on the dry side. Lots of Belgian spices and caramelized malts.

Aug 8, 2008 Dark mahogany color beneath an off-white head. Lots of dark fruits and brown sugar in the aroma. More brown sugar flavors accompanied by prunes and light cardboard flavor. Finishes with a peppery spice. Thanks rudy

Aug 6, 2008 [1357-20080517] Bottle. Sweet Belgian yeast aroma has some heavy malt notes. Clear, dark ruby brown body with a long-lasting creamy light tan head. Sweet yeast flavour has more boozy earthy malt notes. Medium-full body. Nice, but it’s got a kick so you’d better watch out.

Jun 27, 2008 Updated: Jun 28, 2008Thanks to RagallachMC for the bomber. Clear burgundy color with a medium head. Aroma of heavy yeast, toffee, dark, sweet fruit (figs and raisins) and a little bit of chocolate. No bananas, which I prefer.
Medium-heavy body, mostly sweet taste.

May 26, 2008 Bottle (22oz) shared at ’Rudolf’s May 2008 Tasting’ -- courtesy of rudolf. Pours a very deep reddish-brown with an average size diminishing off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, nuts, dark fruit and sugar. Flavour of toasty malt, some sugary sweetness, spices and alcohol. Average bitter finish. Average bodied. Not really doing it for me.

May 21, 2008 2008-05-17. Dark ruby tinged brown bdoy with a smallish tan head. (3+) Sweetish aroma, malt, sugars. (6+) Sweet flavour, light bitterness, tangy note (but pleasantly so, when often that descriptor is not pleasant for me) to the finish that lingers. (6+) Average palate is a bit light for the style but passable. Simple but quaffable. At Rudolf’s, shared by Rudolf
