Jul 23, 2009 Pours a lasting beige head with no lace and a hazy brown-copper body. Smells of dried fruit and dark sugar. Flavor is raisin, dried fruit, brown sugar. Lasting dried fruit finish and champagne-like carbonation in the mouth.

Jul 23, 2009 Copper/garnet pour, big persistent off-white head.
Yeast aroma, some dark fruit (cherries/plums), soft perfumy alcohol, caramel malt. Subtle.
Flavours are fuller: caramel and toasty malt, doughy yeast, spicy phenols. Alcohol is more pronounced to the point of being full-on in the finish. All in all the taste is very nice, but it is a shame about the alcohol.
Carbonation is good: high, but not too prickly.

Jul 21, 2009 Bottle . A cloudy dark brown color pour with a thin tan head , spotty lacing , highly carbonated. Aroma of sweet malt , Belgian yeast , bread, rasins,lightly flopral and a hint of apple. Flavor is slightly bitter, nice sweet caramel taste, dark fruit , bread and a hint of spice. The high ABV is pretty well hidden and with the tiny carbonation bubbles helping to give a dry finish, well balanced , Full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Very drinkable , and quite enjoyable all around.

Jul 19, 2009 330 ml bottle. Pours a large, off-white, sudsy head. Muddy, cola brown body. Aroma is spicy and fruity - what a great yeast. Light alcohol on the nose, dark caramel malt and some darker (chocolate?) malt rounds it out. Flavor is of brown candi sugar and subtle rum, grape, cherry and caramel. Medium, clean body with lively carbonation and a crisp, dry finish. A very enjoyable beer.

Jul 17, 2009 Very high quality belgian ale, highly carbonated and very smooth. Dark fruits overwhelm the taste, but overall nothing stands out too much to make it a really amazing ale.

Jul 16, 2009 I’ve been waiting quite a while to try this one, and I’m not disappointed...much better than Red Cap. Pouring a rich brown, this one is rather cloudy. No worries, I DO like sediment in my beers. Now that’s a head! Probably the biggest I’ve ever seen from a bottle of this size, it was like a light brown milkshaked, and departed with some nice lacing as a parting gift. The aroma was both spiced and fruity, but it is beyond me to determine which ones. Taste was extremely ’good’, as was the mouthfeel. A pleasure to drink a beer this good.
