Pours a deep red with a nice white head. Lots of bread, malt, dark fruit and yeast flavors. This was, long ago, one of my real initiations into Belgian beers. While I still enjoy it, it doesn’t hold up as well for me--seems a bit too cola-like in body and finish. Still a classic beer, though.

Aug 18, 2008 Hazy brown colour. Pale brown head fast dissappearing. Softy and malty nose. Sweet taste with some prunes. Also some sourness in the taste. Some hoppiness in the end. A small bottle from Alko shop.

Aug 17, 2008 ’03 magnum thanks to biggreen opened at the Houston BA Tasting. Pours a brown with a nice tan head. Nose is of raisins and malt. Taste is of raisins, malt and some spice. Mouthfeel is medium with carbonation and some alcohol. Very nice.

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.
