May 9, 2009 Dark brown, fluffy beige head. Lots of raisin and plum in the nose, also some banana and pepper. Smooth mouth has some chocolate, sugary raisin, more and a dark fruit finish. With warmth, the roasted malt gets a little ashy and smoky. Very smooth and laid back thanks to only moderate carbonation and a relatively large body. Surprisingly warming. I’m not a huge fan of the style, but this is quite pleasant.

Apr 26, 2009 Enjoyed via 11.2oz bottle. Pours a medium brown to medium-dark copper. Nose of spices, perhaps a little clove, and a touch of banana and darker fruits. Palate seems to be an interesting balance of sweetness up front and some sourness at the finish, almost what one might expect from an Oud Bruin. Perhaps a little bit of caramel, some alcohol, and a wee bit of prune. Well crafted.

Apr 19, 2009 Dark fruits, chocolate and malt in both the aroma and the taste. Fairly dry. I like it but it is maybe a bit unexciting.

Apr 14, 2009 Tabac et sucres bruns. Ça goûte bon en bouche. Beau malt jouflu. Mais pas très complexe. C’est toute. J’en bois une.

Apr 10, 2009 12 oz bottle thanks to machfive55. Pours a deep brown color with a huge fluffy beige head. The aroma is very nice; spices, nutmeg, light oak, roasted chocolates. The flavor is awesome; smooth and rich chocolates, tons of yeast, light fruit, a spicy backbone. A full and creamy palate. The thing I liked most was how unassuming this beer is, it is simple and quaffable but also awesome. A superb brown ale.

Apr 9, 2009 33 cl bottle. Brown color with a large off white head. Weak aroma of caramel, flavor is also weak of dark fruits and roasted malt. Thin beer that was boring.

Apr 5, 2009 Bottle shared with Steve and Eric. Pours a beautiful brown with a thick tan head. Aromas of smokey fruit and a belgian monastery. Flavors of plum and figs and hints of choc.

Mar 31, 2009 Pour is a deep reddish brown like polished wood. Big tan head moderately creamy. Smells a little sour with caramel sweet undertones. Taste is sour and woody with cherry and mushrooms Feels light in the mouth without being watery. An easy beer to drink,
