Draft at Faucets in Tokyo. Deep maroon color, beige head. Aroma of nutty caramel. Taste is sweet and sour nuts. Odd.

Draught at bar. Dark brown color, white head. Bitter taste with citrus, earthy notes, nuts, ripe fruits and a bit of alcohol. Nicely balanced body. Excellent belgian strong.

Ruby brown. Large frothy beige head, lots of drippy lace. Aroma has Belgian yeast, spice, a little dark fruity, more caramel as it warms. Flavor is much the same. Medium body. Moderate Sweet, spicey with some hops in the finish.

a beautifully deep mahogany, brown beer. large, long lasting head. aroma-hard to decifer. spices, beligan yeast, dark fruits. taste-sweet, dark fruit. very sweet spices. a little malty.

mahogany, cherries, wood, raisins, milk chocolate and caramel. Med body.very malty. Lingering malty raisiny finish.

12oz bottle. A really well done US-Belgian Ale. Deep burgundy-brown body, frothy beige head. Some chocolate in the aroma, but also some funky Belgian yeast tones, and a sort of sharp mineral astringency. Somewhere past double and into Grand Cru territory, with lots of funky yeast nuances. Quite enjoyable, the dry astringency is the only thing that keeps it from being world class, but is also what makes it unique.

Bottle. Pours a clear deep red with a small off-white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Flavour of hops, malt, sugar, lots of caramel, dark fruits, yeast and spices. Mouthfeel is full and oily (for an ale). Long aftertaste of sugar and caramel. Not bad, although I was hoping for something closer to Chimay Bleue - which this does not come close to.

Draft pour dark brown, red. Nose sweet caramel malt. Taste malt and dark fruit.

Deep dark ruby red and amber body with big head dissipating to a ring, nose takes a few moments to form bouquet of peaches, cherries, soft chocolate and solid herbal earth and mint spice which unfortunately fade significantly through the drink, taste follows on a nice mml body, easy going down and clean dark tea finish, will be nice when the spice blends and mellows, not really somehing I see myself buying more of

Typisk belgisk öl, massa jäst och lite citrus. Dock får jag säga att denna var bättre än de andra jag smakat, den var inte så överdrivet söt i smaken. Låg kolsyra och lite lite sur i eftersmaken.
