From tap: fruity, yeasty, some sour notes, some caramel sweetness, some roasted notes, some nutty notes, medium-light bodied, nice enough.

Pretty tasty beer as it warms, this crimson brown hue creates a small velvet head that doesn’t stick around too long. Aroma is of spice, dark fruit, and caramel malt. Flavor shows brown sugar, toffee, chocolate, and yeast. Nice medium mouthfeel...highly drinkable for 9%!!!

Dark brown with brown fizzy head. Aroma of dried fruits and dark malt. Sharp initial flavor, fruity and sour cider like. Strong sharp carbonation on the palate. Roasted flavors come out in the duration which is somewhat dry. Fairly light density. A crisp belgian strong ale.

pours a cloudy reddish brown, some light brown fizzy head, very little lacing (at least on this westmalle goblet) aroma is lots of caramel, some apple, ripe fruit, and brown sugar, maybe a hint of metal sweet flavor, but not cloying, not as fruity as you would expect nice medium-bodied texture but little to no finish

Bottle whilst watching Profondo Rosso. I liked this beer a lot. It has a great aroma and flavor of malt, with strong apple cider undertones, and a hint of brown sugar. I would almost say it’s a dessert beer, which I shall certainly buy more of.

Pours a dark brown with large froathy offwhite head. Aroma is toasted caramel and figs. Flavor sweet and dark cherries, bit too over the top sweetness, but decent. Medium mouthfeel.

11.2 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a deep, dark reddish brown color with a huge head, good head retention and average lacing. tart and malty aroma with brown sugar, cherry and yeast notes. Taste is very similar... toffeish malts, cherries and some light chocolate. Medium bodied.
