Pours slight cloudy dark brown with a thick tan head. A thick bodied beer with some fruit overtones which make it drinkable.

Pours a burnt caramel with a classic Belgian head. Very sweet aroma - caramel and sugary fruits. The taste is lighter than the aroma, but definitely still sweet. There’s even a bit of tartness in there. I want a Belgian with this dark of a color to pack a punch, and this one seems to take darker flavors and weaken them to the point of being a lighter beer - it drinks like a soda. It’s very decent, but lacking in complexity I’ve come to expect from a good strong Belgian.

Very smooth beer, pour cloudy with a good head. No strong alcohol taste, which is a plus.

330 ml. bottle, dark brown color with lots of head, a lot of cocoa and caramel with some malt, a little thinner than I would like for this style

12oz bottle. I’ve tastes this twice, the second bottle was slightly infected so I will discuss the first. Pours a dark cloudy brown with a awesome tan head. Smell is caramel, sugar, bread and fruit. Taste wise its well carbonated making it dangerously drinkable at 8.5%. No alcohol noticable at all. Strong on caramel and chocoate with a slight hop to balance on the back end, no real bitterness. Nice bready finish. Interesting beer and I think I prefer it slightly to the Tremens.

330ml. Pours murky brown with a beige head. Yawnable overall, found some caramalized cannibus notes, but it was fairly flabby altogether. Disappointing.

Pours dark amber with light tan head. Aromas of bread and candy sugar. Flavor is sweet caramel with a metallic finish. Slight alcohol burn. Medium to full body with spritzy carbonation and a slighly syrupy mouthfeel. Not bad.

Like its relative delirium tremens but thicker, smoother and more complex. Still highly carbonated with a flavor of caramel, chocolate and light hops with fruity undertones. Good mouthfeel.
