Apr 1, 2007 750 mL bottle. Pours opaquely cloudy rusty brown with tight tan head. The aroma is tremendously malty, rum, chocolate, caramel, just a hint of bubblegum, fruity sweetness. The flavor is initially a sweet, yeasty muffin type taste, then rum soaked raisins. Some orange comes out toward the finish. The aftertaste is sweet and slightly woody. Honestly, the flavor isn’t as rich as the aroma. But it’s still quite tasty.

Mar 18, 2007 Bottle. Pours brown/copper color with a medium tan head. Aroma of banana, bubblegum, cloves and some other pungent spices. Nice aroma. Taste is sweet, some molasses, caramel, spices and dark fruit. Plums come to mind, especially in the finish. Silky mouthfeel, alcohol is well hidden for 10.5%. Good brew.

Mar 5, 2007 Drak brown, hazy, but the fizzy head seemed to disappear quickly. Aromas of caramel, banana, and sweet spices. Sweet caramel flavour, a little banana, some sweet spice, and a definite orange rind note in the finish. Not as smooth or complex as the classic in my opinion, still delicious.

Mar 3, 2007 Dark cloudy brown with some white head. Great aroma of choclate and spice, vanilla, and citrus orange. Very smooth mouthfeel, and while all of the tastes do not materialize boldy, it is very tasty and refreshing.A great brewery.
thanks for bringing in IPFreely.

Feb 27, 2007 Bottle: Poured a deep burgundy brown color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention and good lacing. Aroma of sweet candy and anis is dominating and quite enjoyable and almost reminiscent of Rochefort. Taste is a nice mix between strong Belgian malt, sweet candy and anis. There is some sweetness but it never goes overboard and provides great balance with some light typical Belgian yeast. It appears that this brewery just won’t stop to amaze me with all those great beers.
