Jan 8, 2008 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.

Jan 5, 2008 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.

Jan 1, 2008 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.

Dec 30, 2007 Updated: Apr 19, 200833cl 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.

does not count  Dec 30, 2007 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.

Dec 29, 2007 330 ml bottle. Dark ruby red brown colour. Big flake floates. Medium-sized fine-laced creamy off-white head. Definitive Belgian yeast character. Powdery chocolate aromas. Gentle roasted notes. High carbonation level. Crisp malts and sharp carbonation. Yeasty. but still very approachable. Quite nice, and inoffensive even though there are a couple of defects.

Dec 29, 2007 Bottle/tap? Almost black body. Nice pale brown head. Sweetish aroma, ok. Moderate sweet flavour. Pleasant. (I de gamle gode tider, Brüssel, 15.12.07)
