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.

Bottled(330ml). -Deep brown coloured, medium sized tan head, fizzy. Nice spicy nose. Aroma is malty and spicy with caramel, chocolate and honey notes. Spicy, subdued yeasty and slight sweet finish. To be honest I was expecting much better beer.

One of the most drinkable Belgian ales I’ve tried. By that I mean this is not a beer to be sip and ruminate over, it’s not that complex. Just a solid, dark brew. Something I’d want to drink every day.

750ml bottle, best by 01/09/07 - Pours dark brown with a huge, billowy head. It has a fairly light aroma with yeast and some maltiness. The flavor is a bready malt with some yeast noticeable and a metallic twinge. I can still taste the latter a little bit in the finish. I’m not sure if this is just my preferences or there’s something wrong with this bottle, but it’s not as good as I expected given a rating here that puts it in the top ten of Abbey Dubbels. It has a surprisingly light flavor and a mouthfeel that verges on watery. It’s also pretty one dimensional, so the descriptions here that make it sound so complex make me wonder about my bottle. I’ve had the whole large bottle to myself, so there’s plenty by which to judge and it’s not getting any better. It’s drinkable, but at $10 for the bottle from a liquor store, it’s absolutely not worth it. Disappointing.

Cloudy red and tons of foam. Spicy metallic aroma. Spiced flavor, lots of cloves, some fruit and a bit of metal. A bit tangy and interesting mouthfeel, but not great, and medium bodied. Slightly unpleasant aftertaste.

33cl bottle. Pours a cloudy medium-brown, with a good lacey head that sticks to the glass. Aroma is malty and pretty slight compared to similar beers. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel and a sweet, developing flavour - fruit, wine & chocolate. Sweet finish, giving way to alcoholic warmth.

bottle. Pours a monster tan head that stays till end. Belgian lace. Deep brown with ruby highlights, bit dark for style but pretty. Initial soft toasted malts followed by fruity esters, distinctly pears. Has an intial sweet red wine taste but this character quickly fades leading into distinct chocolate notes. Alcohol warming in the throat in swallow but not in nose or mouth - very pleasant presentation. Clean finish, smooth and soft for a big beer. Body bit light for style but acceptable. An excellent beer. Best if sits in cellar for a few days to let the yeast settle after transport - much softer if you do this.
