Not overly tasty but a good basic beer. Bland flavors and kind of alcohol tasting. Expensive for what you get. Drank from a large corked bottle.

Great beer, great price, great taste! Probably one of the best beers I’ve had. Long week at work, so I very much enjoyed this one for my 10th rating. You need to try this one.

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2012 I had some of this from a bottle at The Old Belgo restaurant in London. It was like having an epiphany. This beer is that good. It pours a brown color with a beautiful head. It smells of fruits and flowers. The taste is of fruits and caramel. The alcohol is well hidden beneath all the flavors. Sip this one slowly and enjoy one of the best beers in the world.

This was a beer I long anticipated. When I first opened it, there was a yeasty aroma with hints of a flowery tone. There was also a hint of raisins, the sweetness of dark fruits and caramel. It poured with a dark caramel, chocolate appearance with a tan, sparse head. When I sipped it, I first feel the bubbles dancing on my tongue, then I taste a strong alcohol which is slightly bitter. It has some sweetness to it mingled with a touch of sour and bitter. I remember this beer being better the first time, but it wasn’t as cold either. Perhaps if I warm it in my hands, the full flavors will come out. As I type, the aftertaste is pleasant, reminding me of my childhood and warm breads and figs. Overall, I rate this as an excellent beer, and would definitely try it again, well worth the price.

Beautiful stable head. Flowers, spices, raisins?, and honey in aroma. Roasted flavor with a lingering bitterness and warm stomach feel. A beer to be drank slowly on a cold day

0.33l bottle. Oaky body with fizzy dissipating head. Wheaty, resins, figs, dried fruit and banana leaves. Very pleasant medium carbonation. Sweet finish which lasts nicely.

UPDATED: DEC 4, 2011 This is really a wonderful beer. Rich mahogany color on pour. Well-carbonated with plenty of head. Nice irregular pattern of bubbles in the head. Aroma smacks of caramel, yeast, cola, plum and apricot. Well-balanced malt and hops. Very, very complex character. Fairly carbonated. Overall a delightful beer, and one of my favorites from Belgium along with Rodenbach. A special beer.
