3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bouteille de 33cl. Couleur ambrée assez foncée, mousse correcte de tenue moyenne. A la première gorgée, j’ai eu l’impression de détecter un arôme... d’olives! Sinon, c’est un peu fruité, un peu épicé. Une attaque assez sucrée et une finale un peu amère. Carbonnation moyenne, longueur moyenne, alcool bien masqué (10%). Trouvée à Vanuxeem - Ploegstaert.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
330 ml. bottle shared at a monthly tasting session. Poured to a sampler with a clear copper hue, off white, creamy head foam, and good cling to the curtainy lacing. The aroma was caramel, sweet fruit as dark cherry & concord grape, a touch of spice, with a light vinous nature. The flavor included soft malt, with a little creaminess to the mouthfeel, a sweet syrupy texture, medium body, and subtle but warming alcohol. A tasty Strong Ale, especially appropriate for holiday time.

Sweet chocolate malts going into bitter roasted coffee like notes. Dried fruits aromas balancing the palate. Bitter coffee and hops aftertaste. Overall it’s an exciting beer.

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2011 pours deep reddish brown with a thin beige head and some bits of lacing. aroma is sweet with some spice notes. candy sugar, beets, molasses, anise, currants and jelly beans are all present. body is full. taste is rich with cream, grapes, raisins, currants, yeast, apples and apricots. finish is sweet but in an overripe way. a strong, sweet beer the captures the decadence of belgian ale beautifully.
