Aroma: Yeast, caramel, lots of dark fruit with some alcohol and a good amount of malt. Flavour: Quite malty with a good deal of vanilla, plums and other dark fruits, some chocolate; toffee and a nice amount of carbonation with a long sweet finish. Not bad at all.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 11, 2009 330mL bottle courtesy of sdriessen. Pours red/black with a big fluffy Duvel-esq tan head which lingers. Aromas of dark fruit, raisiny, cloves, aspects of both dubbel and tripel here. Flavour is very fruity, raisins dominate. The spice is very strong here. Quite a warming beer. Candy sweetness is balanced with a mild bitterness well. Bitterness lingers briefly with the spices. Quite a unique Belgian. jrallen34 (123), Chicago, Illinois, USA

The beer pours redish brown with a good head and nice fruity caramal aroma.
Tastes of chocolate and berries, I actually like this better than the tremens. DigitalMan (113), Idaho, USA
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 3/20 | Jun 29, 2009 Bit of sourness in the aroma. Nice color, head seems a little "loose"... big bubbles, clumpy. Flavor? Gah! Gnar. Funky. Drain pour, I’m afraid. mxthem (15), Italy
