UPDATED: FEB 28, 2012 Deep brown/black pour with a little bit of light tan head. The nose is a little bit sweet and chewy. Some light Belgian spice and a little bit of soft cocoa and chocolate. A little bit of light raisin and a hint of toffee. There is a little bit of light coffee on the back. There is a little bit of light hoppiness on the back that is very lovely. Soft and a little bit of lingering fruit. Nice stuff.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAR 1, 2012 2012-02-11. Very dark brown-black body with a nice small tan head. 4+ Interesting aroma, sort of dusty malt, sweetish malt undercurrent, sort of green herbaceous overtones. Flavour has similar herbaceous touches, sort of leafy, interesting mild bitterness throughout, seems like the hops were probably even stronger when it was younger. Smooth average body, soft carbonation. Enjoyable. Bottle from the brewery August 2011
