ABS (142) - NORWAY - FEB 4, 2012
Pours dark brown. A tiny bit of fizzy head. Very malty smell. Highly carbonated mouthfeel, almost stingy. Sweet but a hint of sourness (not much). Malt, yeast, pear, some caramel aroma. Good!

robgibbens (277) - Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA - FEB 4, 2012
Very dark brown color with a thick foamy head and a lot of Belgian lace. Aroma is doughy Taste is sweet, like baked sour cherries, if you follow me. Clean crisp finish with a little zing. Nice brew.

330ml bottle cool. Dark brown, typical fruit and toffee aroma. Prunes, caramel and dried fruit flavour. Quite a bit of sweetshop going on as well. Very tasty.

Poured into a pint after getting it home from GatorBev. 5.59 for the 11.2oz bottle. Definitely less fruity than most Belgium styles, especially dubbels. Hints of yeast, slight coffee or smoke? Poured near 60°f, lots of carbonation. Almost a milky viscosity with a brown/red hue. Light frothy head. Would be great with red meat.

Bottle at The Caley, served in the chalice which was a nice touch. Pours a brown colour with a thin tan head. Aroma of toffee, caramel, raisins, plums and alcohol. Similar flavours with alcohol fairly present. Moderate carbonation and a chewy mouth-feel. Tasty.
