bottle. reddish brown color. creamy white head. malty aroma. dark fruit and caramel taste. nice belgian beer.

Tap at BXL. Deep dark brown beer, very hazy thick creamy light brown head. Sweet plummy special B, rye bread, wheat and spices. Some light acidic aroma as well. Flavour is a bit thin though. Sweet dark toasted malts. Good flavour development, even if the body isn’t quite what I’d like. Sweet and malty on the front with a long bready finish.

On tap at 3 Floyd’s brewpub - Pours dark brown with a long lasting head. It has a nice, malty aroma and a caramel malt flavor with subdued dark fruit notes. It’s smooth and a little tart with a medium body and a mildly bitter finish.

Pours a light brown with frothy tan head. Aroma is apricot, pears and other fruit. Somewhat malty. Improves as it warms. Pretty smooth. Sweet, then dry bitter finish.

Dark brown with an orange hue. Nice froathy head. Flavor is full of figs and other fruits. Lingers nicely on the palate. Good Brew

UPDATED: OCT 19, 2006 Dark brown with white head. Very sour and fresh yet still it has some sweetness. Nutty. Earthy/woody tones Very live carbonation. A fine lasting finish!

Brown body with a large brown head. Nice mollasses aroma, earthy accents from the cave-ageing definatly show here. Nice caramel malt body, cherries and again some earth overtones. Cool ending.

Half pint poured at The White Horse on Parsons Green (London), ruby red with a filmy head. An interesting aroma, caramal and milk chocolate with rich cherries. A good carbonation in the mouth that lightens the rich cherry flavour, combined with an oakiness. Very good.
