Almost amber brown pour with a sticky clinging lace and head. Very abv warmth jumps out at you. Vanilla flavor and a good bitter. Good carbonation but just a tad thin. Solid all round good smooth warm beer. Skyview (2657), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Jun 7, 2008 Received 12-oz bottle from Liquid Solutions.biz in Portland, Oregon. Pours a semi-clear amber brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of fruity caramel malt, some raisin, roasted nuts and a touch of yeast funk.

Finish is semi-sweet, some alcohol bite with a fruity malt aftertaste that slowly disappears. A nice fruity Belgian ale.
