3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
From a bottle which gushed the beer pours a crimson color with a medium tight head. The aroma is musty and nutty with some fig and rotting leaf notes. The flavor is malty and for lack of a better term "rustic". Lots of fig character is displayed here without being overly sweet, in fact it finishes dry and has light peppery and roasty notes throughout. On all accounts a very enjoyable beer.

3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours deep brown with a rocky tan head. The aroma has lots of dates, raisins, plums, brown sugar, sourdough, Belgian yeast, light molasses, anise and cream. Medium / thin body that’s slick and has very light carbonation for the style. The flavor starts as an ultra-watery version of the aroma with some sourness. The finish adds some spice and caramel. Fair at best.

Bottle shared by argo0 on 8/7/08: Pours a transparent amber mahogany with a thin, wispy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel and toasty biscuity malts with some floral light fruity notes. Body starts fairly full and sweet with some good doguhy caramel and yeasty flavor before a drier toasty finish. A pretty good Belgian strong ale.
