Jul 8, 2003 Smells like raisins, very aromatic, perfume like. Flavor is sweet and slightly sour. No bitterness. Heavy, wet mouthfeel. Smooth, with alcohol barely noticable. Pretty good stuff.

Sep 7, 2003 I don't know why I chose this beer for my first rating since I have a Chimay Rouge and a Blue in my fridge but here it goes... Pours with a huge head that is fed for a good while by the (excessive?) carbonation. Deep red body that is quite opaque. The carbonation almost overpowers the initial taste of rich malt and green apple but as it moderates the taste really comes through. Good pour if a bit too sweet for my taste.

Sep 26, 2003 Updated: Nov 7, 2003Very nice abbey brown. Little roasty on the balace, not too sweet at all. Dried fruit aroma. I love the color on this one. Nice mouth feel, not too heavy. Perfect rendition of the style.

Dec 3, 2003 Beautiful looking beer. Rich and inviting with a huge head. Tons of carbanation bubbles dancing around. Aroma is primarily fruity, plum, rasin, dates. A mild sweetness with just a hint of bitterness or sourness lost in the back. Flavor is very fruity, mostly sweet mild nutty tastes. I could have done with a little less of the champaigne like carbination. For me it seems to complicate the flavors. Not my favorite Belgian, but definitely a good one.

Jan 17, 2005 Bottle was a gusher. Huge off white head all over the place. Very thick and lasting. Aromas are soft mild woody notes, yeast, with some of that Belgian spice and complexity.Flavors are similar with a little more alcohol taste and more of that warming Belgian flavor. Soft and smoth feel. Slight bitter aftertaste. Quite nice.

Jul 17, 2004 Reddish/brown color with a big fluffy tan head. Aroma of raisins, prunes and dark chocolate. Sweet flavor of raisins on first taste, turning slightly tart, then finishing dry.
