Commercial Description:
Has a very distinctive bouquet: yeasty, fruity and slightly smoky. In palate, it has notes of port, raisins and black chocolate. Editor's note: Apparently production has moved from Van Steenberge to du Bocq as of Sept 2007.

(bottle): Pours a humongous head, off-white, creamy, good lacing, very lasting. Dark reddish body. Sugary flowery aroma. Sweet hoppy, some malts in the aroma. Sweet sugary taste. Some acidic. Warming up, softer, more floral, less dark fruit.

bottle. Pours a lovely shade of semi-translucent brown with a large crackling tan head. Smells sweet and has notes of caramel and fruit. Feels very alive in your mouth. In the beginning it tastes of malt and caramel with a sharp note of alcohol. Mellows out a bit as it warms and the taste of nuts, fruit, and hops emerge. Very well made and worth sampling just to see and hear the head form in the glass.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a big head. The taste is raisins, malt, brown sugar and just a touch of dried fruit. Lots of carbonation. Great stuff.

Pours a dark chestnut brown with big foamy beige head. Aroma of chocolate malt, alcohol, hazelnut, sugar and raisin. Carbonated, roasted malt flavor with chocolate, hazelnut and coffee with a dry hoppy finish.

Bottle. Dark brown almost black in color with a fluffy light tan head. Little to no fizz medium body. Sweet malt aroma. Lively & poppy beginning, medium middle with balanced flavor or malt, hops and yeast. End quickly with little to no aftertaste. End dry and crisp with a very light alcohol flavor, not bitter. Nice and balances with medium carbonination.

33cl bottle: pours a very dark brown with a nice off white head. aroma is smells like it has something smoked in it with spices added, not bad. flavor of spices but the smoked flavor comes through too strong and i dont know if i like that. not bad but this beer could use some work in my mind.

as a newbie exploring the belgians, this to me was a lot less of the fruit, and more of a taste that didn’t overdo it... definitely would drink a few more.
