kevd193213 (477), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA Feb 16, 2009 12 oz bottle. Dark brownish amber pour with a nice thick foamy tan head. Aroma of bread, spices and malt. Taste dominated by caramel and Belgian yeast. Very smooth despite the higher alcohol content. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Feb 13, 2009 Updated: Mar 3, 2009Thanks acknud Cloudy brown pours with a tan colored medium head. Aroma is clean and caramelly and very sweet smelling. This beer tastes like candy to me. Very sweet but yet balanced in the end with some well balanced spiciness and bitterness. The alcohol is hardly noticeable due to the high sweetness. Perfect palate: decent carbonation but thick and lasting on the tongue. I was pleasantly surprised by this beer NoiZe (1288), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands Feb 12, 2009 Amber, brown colored brew.

Pours a clear black, rich brown head. Aroma is very faint sweet. Taste was way too much sugar drowning out the rest of the taste, with the taste of alcohol mixed in. Short finish and also certainly wasn’t ’thick’- thin mouthfeel. fluffy (229), Florida, USA Feb 8, 2009 bottle to tulip glass. brick red color with foamy head. taste of cocoa, dark dried fruits like raisin and dates. finish is buttery and clean. good balanced malt. great stuff. jjkuck10 (36), , Wisconsin, USA Feb 8, 2009 Great brown-red colour.
