It was a year old bottle. So good. I have had a few of their other beers in the past and they were also good. Copper in color, cloudy. Fruity aroma. Malty. I enjoyed it.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cloudy reddish pour, moderate head formation. Aroma is malty with caramel, sweet banana and pear candy, and licorice spice. Pretty hoppy palate for a Belgian ale offering some citric bitterness as well as a marked alcohol presence. Well spiced with woody notes towards the end. Shows mild chocolaty undertones in the aftertaste.

4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Thin foam head with just a little carbonation. I expected much more head and effervescence from this brew. Caramel, apricots and a bit of spices round out a great aroma. Murky orange/mahagony in color. Damn this has a nice aroma. Flavor ain’t to bad either. Slightly fizzy in the mouth. More apricots and dried fruit. Spicey and yeasty with a nice alcohol kick and warms nicly as it goes down. Very slight sour finish and is thick and coating. A very good belgian. Dang, this brew tastes good. Maybe it is because I just spent the last week in Puerto Rico where they have absolute $hit for beer. Ahhhh, it is good to be home.

Taste is acidic citrusy with hints of caramel,brown sugar,lemon,dough bread,sour cherries and even bubble gum. Very nice and slightly different than your typical belgium style.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle(2005) from Whole Foods. Medium/dark amber pour. Strong slightly sweet, slightly tart vinous aroma. Some fig notes as well. Strong woody chocolate malty flavors right up front. Then goes into this sour quality almost like a flemish. Start and finish on this are like two different beers. Finish also show a bit of spice and some alcohol. Good stuff.
