Mar 19, 2007 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a creamy off-white head that leaves light lacing. The aroma has fruits, spices (clove & nutmeg), and a light hint of alcohol. The flavor found dark fruits, malts, and spices. Medium to full body. Enjoyable.

Mar 18, 2007 Pous a quite translucent deep mahogany/burgundy-red color. Produces a sturdy, thick beige colored head with excellent durability throughout the glass. No lacing noted. Pleasant, but somewhat muted aromas of brandy-soaked dark fruits, sherry, ripe black cherries, dark caramel malt and brown sugar. Some faint notes of yeast, ripe banana and spices linger in the background. Mouthfeel is well balanced with a nice full, thick chewiness along with a palate tingling spritzy carbonation. Initial taste is that of sweet crystal malts, dark brown sugar and melted caramel candies. Flavor then seems to transcend quickly to a complex blend of ripe brandied dark fruits, licorice, cinnamon, nutmeg and dark pumpernickel bread. A dash of hoppy or herbal bitterness appears late to tame any overt sweetness. Alcohol is more apparent as glass warms, but not coarse or obtrusive in any way. Well balanced and classy all around.

Mar 5, 2007 Bottle from unclemattie; Thanks Matt; Nose is sweet brown sugar with cloves, dark fruit, and nutmeg; cherry brown with a small beige head; flavor is smoky sweet caramel malt with a little bitterness in the finish. I like the Corsendonk Agnus and Pater better but this is pretty good.

Mar 4, 2007 A mahogany pour with a good light brown head. An aroma of dark brown sugar and malt. A semi sweet flavor of malt, some spice. A tad of bitter in the finish but very pleasant. The body is solid I am not crazy about the agressive carbonation but over all very good beer.
