Cloudy brown color; small head. Caramel aroma, it reminds me a Doppelbock, with a hint more of hops. Good body; it has a strong caramel flavor, some yeast, quite stong alcohol feeling. Quite good.

bottle at home ... deep brown ... thin tan head ... big sweet chocolate toffee malt ... little raisin nose ... sweet juicy dark fruits .. some chocolate ... little toffee ... very rich

Golden-brown colour. Dark fruits and olives on the nose with raisins, dark sugars and bubblegum. Thick, sweet sugar taste with light raisin and fruit. Typical oversweet American Belgian attempt..I will never like this type of unbalanced beer.
