Nov 22, 2009 0,33 l bottle.
Nice deep ruby-mahagony colored beer, poured clear with a nice foamy tan head that diminishes slowly to a small, delicious lacing one. Fine, alluring aroma with caramel and fine toasred malt, belgian yeast, candy sugar and pleasant fruits. Rich body, fine texture with roundish mouthfeel. Flavor of candy, caramel and toasted malt, moderated fruity esters like plum and raisins. Some roasted character in the fine aftertaste. Direct hit of the style.

Nov 20, 2009 Pours dark copper/brown with the customary thick, creamy head.
Aroma shows note of port, brown sugar, treacle, doughy yeast and sweet bready malt.
Flavours are massively rich. Very sweet with loads of treacle and dark candi sugar, as well as more of the doughy yeast and peppery phenols. Alcohol is quite powerful (which only increases the stature of this beer) to the point of becoming overpowering.
Carbonation is quite high, which partially helps to dry out the finish.
Too sweet, and too boozy for my liking.
