Dec 3, 2006 Bottled. Tulip. Pours dark brown beer with a fading light tan head. Smells of raisins, chocolate and plums. Flavor is sweet, with toasty malts, chicory, caramel and spice. Carbonation feels a little sharp. Otherwise, the palette is round, full and right for the style.

Dec 3, 2006 Clear brown body. Plum and tootsie roll chocolate in teh aroma along with some peppery alcohol. The flavor sweetens up with dried fruit and chocolaty sweetness and a certain powdered sugar sweetness. Good mouthfeel. An enjoyably sweet Belgian.

Dec 1, 2006 2004 Bottle. Ruddy brown in color with a light head. Tempting aroma, fresh, vinous, spicy with a caramel raisin note. Effervescent on the tongue with a sharp but lingering malt-raisin-prune sourness. Medium body. Alcohol warms my belly without being obvious on the tongue. A solid and substantial beer worthy of the Emporer’s attentions.

Some banana and bubblegum as well as marshmellow. Smooth silky mouthfeel. A little spicy up front with a hint of yeast. Some raisin. Alot of dark fruits. Finish is dark and roasty with a hint of alcohol. Very nice beer.

Nov 27, 2006 Bottle. Pours deep mahogany with amber highlights. Nice, creamy head of beige that leaves intricate lacing. Aroma of damp wood with spices and bitter fruit. Dull spices, notably coriander and nutmeg, greet the imbiber. Earthy flavors linger in the finish. Flavors are spread evenly; each is given its own turn to shine and gracefully bows to the next when its time is up. Great Belgian.
