This is by far my favorite beer. I disagree about the aftertaste being "foul alcohol" - it’s just right!

I could not believe how good this bottle was when I happened to purchase it a few weeks ago. To me, the only thing that I can compare it to, is Chimay Grande reserve that has been aged for a few years. The only difference that I noticed between the two were in the appearance of the beer. The aged Chimay definitely had the advantage there, but in taste, this was right next to it.

It just does not get better than this Belgian ale. Perfect drinkability. You’d never know the alcohol % by tasting this ale. This is a brew that should not be served ice cold as it tastes like a fizzy cola. The true flavors come out at about 45-50 degrees. PS don’t drink too many, I got the champagne giggles.

Dark, thick, and hazy. Fruity taste with hints of prunes/raisins. Malty, smooth and palatable.

Coffee hop yeast funk and alcohol all perfectly balanced. Really dark. Super hoppy for such a dark beer.

750ml brown bottle made to look ceramic. Translucent dark copper-red-brown body with chunks of yeast floating in int and a couple inches of light tan head. Scent is complex, including citrus, yeast, chocolate, caramel, and nut, among other things. If the aroma were stronger, it would be perfect IMO. Tastes initially fruity and yeasty, with roasty caramel and chocolate on the finish. Slight nutty and woody qualities round out the flavor. Light-to medium bodied, very refreshing with a fair bit of carbonation. Alcohol is hardly noticeable in either the flavor or mouthfeel. Wow. This beer is superb, damn near perfect. Probably my new favorite beer.
