Jul 17, 2008 Rich syrupy dark malts, sappy spruce, and earthy yeast in the sniff. Nuts and metal. Some licorice and liquor undertones.
Flavor is sweet (burnt sugar), and yeasty. Fairly piney with nice spice.
Fruits (apricots, plums, raisins, and apple cider).
An amazingly smooth palate, as these imported belgians tend to have.
