UPDATED: NOV 18, 2011 Looks pretty nice in the glass. Can’t really describe the smell, but it wasn’t very nice in my opinion. 9% abv, so one bottle will give you a nice buzz. Tastes pretty decent, but not as good as the score led me to believe.

Brown ruby-ish beer with a nice firm head. Fruity spicy taste with a pleasant fizzy carbonation feeling. Nice bottle that is seducing you to buy and drink it.

bottle at café medeia, lisbon. Nice surprise. Lovely bottle, appearance and aroma. Average carbonation. Overall nice.

On tap at Little Delirium Café. It poured a very dark brown liquid that bordered on black. Pale brown head. Deep smell of caramel malts, toffee and sweet. Taste had burned malt, yeast and caramel. Smooth mouthfeel and thick body. Nice and complex malty beer with a well hidden ABV.

Bottle. Poured a deep reddish brown color with a two finger head that retained throughout the entire beer. Aroma was fig, molasses and other fruit flavors. Flavor was apple, raisain, fig and plum. Longer finish. A good beer.

Bottled. A hazy brown beer with a frothy beige head. Aroma is sweet, notes of caramel and brown sugar. Flavor is malty and yeasty, notes of caramel and prunes. Noticeable burning alcohol. Bitter and spicy finish.

11.2oz bottle in a Trappist glass. Pours brown with sediment and a thick, lacy, light tan head. Aroma of spicy yeast, caramel and slightly roasted/chocolatey malts, and some floral hops. The beer has a nice balance of all of the flavors. Average texture. A really good Belgian ale.
