gunnar (486), Sandnes, Norway Mar 31, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours deep dark brown with a creamy beige head. Sweet aroma of chocolate, fruits and malts.Flavour is velvet soft, chocolate, raisins, spices. Alcohol shines through in the aftertaste. Nice one scooterbub (332), Lander, Wyoming, USA Mar 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice dark brown with a nice, foamy tan head that slowly fades. Taste is of yeast, banana, fruit, malt, caramel and spice. Similara aroma. Well balanced. A nice, complex, enjoyable, drinakble brew that is worth picking up every now and then. On par with the Red and White and is hard to choose a favorite. angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Mar 30, 2009 Bottle. Great beige color head that was quite rocky and long lasting, with a hazy brownish red body. Apply and brown sugar aroma with notes of yeast, raisins, and bready notes. Creamy mouthfeel and tastes of plums, caramel, and a hint of cherry with just a hint of alcohol in the finish. great beer. horto008 (21), Alabama, USA Mar 28, 2009 Fruity aroma and taste. Shared a 1pt6oz bottle and determined apple was the predominant fruit flavor in our minds. Very sweet like you would expect but didn’t manage to have to heavy a mouth feel like some of the other belgian ales. Alcohol was well hidden. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA Mar 28, 2009 Very amber pour.....sweet, fruity hints on the nose. Very sweet flavor....plums, raisins, caramel malts. A great beer to sip slightly below room temperature. aphalo (80), Turku, Finland Mar 26, 2009 Bottle 330ml, 2008. Reddish brown colour, creamy beige head. Aroma has fruits, chocolate and cherry in it. Flavor is smooth and rich, chocolate, fruits, malts and caramel in it. Alcohol comes up in the aftertaste. Very well balanced, even this particular bottle wasn’t as old as some Bleues I’ve drank. hoppopotamus (182), Santa Cruz, California, USA Mar 25, 2009 A filthy looking dark dark brown beer with a light tan head that doesn’t last. The aroma contains very dark notes of chocolate, with some fruits (cherry). The flavor contains considerable alcohol heat, with more dark fruit, molasses, and belgian yeasty spiciness. and peppery. Fred82 (343), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Mar 23, 2009 750ml bottle, from notes. Dark red color, medium head. Quite fruity. Very nice balance. The beer that really got me into craft beer ! Rating #72
