Oct 2, 2007 Ah. One of my first Belgians way back when. A nice one that I kind of miss. Rich. Fruity. Haven’t had this in quite some time.

Oct 2, 2007 Pours deep brown with nice notes of dried fruits and heavy malts. The palate is medium bodies with a very long malt finish that has some tang and notes of spices.

Oct 1, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Aroma of dark fruits, dark malt, and something floral. Nearly opaque brown color with a beige head that didn’t last long. Medium bodied with creamy carbonation. Starts with lightly roasted malt, some chocolate, tangy fruit, and perhaps a hint of bitter. The finish is pretty dry, with a little smoke, some bitter, and something like chocolate bread or perhaps yeast? It is not extremely complex, but it has a nice variation from start to finish.

Sep 30, 2007 Nov 2005 - This was a beautiful beer...dark brown with 2 fingered head that just wouldn’t go away. The foamy bubbles on top, combined with the just right amount of carbonation made each sip a treat in the mouth. The flavor wasn’t as complex to me as to most, with some dried fruits and malty flavor with even a little hop twang at the end. Not as rich, sweet and spicey as I would have liked, but still a darned good beer.

Sep 28, 2007 Nice mild caramel malts, fruity and mildly yeasty. Lively carbonation which settled over time. Got better after being in the glass for half hour or so. Brought home as a "gift" by Andrea - not really my style but after visiting the Hop Leaf in Chicago I think I’ll start exploring Belgian beers. Nice treat!

Sep 24, 2007 750 bottle. Pours a coffee brown in color with a huge head. The aroma is of floral hops and fruits. To start out, the flavor is of sweet summer fruit with a yeasty breadiness. As it warms a bit, the malts become more evident with a light caramel note. It finishes sweet and a bit strong with a chocolatey espresso note. One of my top favorite beers.
