big bottle: Well, the amazing accomplishment of this beer is that it is 9% alchohol but does not feel completely overwhelmed by it like a cheap malt beer. Still, it does burn going down, which is not a good thing for a beer, so why this is 99th percentile is beyond me. This is nowhere as complex as the red label Chimay which has more pleasant fruit flavours. This threw me for a loop & knocked me sideways for a bit . There’s way more enjoyable beers to be drinking than this, so save this one for a cold winter night. There’s also beers just as flavoured by won’t knock you on your arse (Rogue Brown Nectar, Beamish).

Aug 12, 2008 Nice dark brown color with thick cream and tan head. Besides the expected dry fruit and malt aroma, their was a hint of brightness, floral or raspberry, and little overt alcohol taste. Well balanced flavor, smooth with a sweet finish that seemed unbeerlike, but enjoyable. Happy to serve again.
