07/20/11. Pours a murky, deep ruby color, like garnet… one of those dark red colors. head is fluffy off-white. Smell is very malty and sweet. Lots of dark fruits, figs, raisins, and something that I can really only describe as red smelling. Kind of like cherry blasters but not as sweet, or sour, but there is a little bit of acidy sweet smell, like balsamic vinegar. Up front its taste is sweet but crisp. Apple-like, but then the caramel flavour of the malts fills it out. You get some spices to, a little bit peppery, but it’s really light. The alcohol starts to come in, at first just for flavour, but then you get the burn. It’s not offensive, it adds really nice flavour. Finish actually has some brief bitterness, but it really rides out the maltiness. the mouth feel is meidum. Not as yeasty as other Belgian beer I’ve had, and again not as spicy, but it’s really nice.

Bottle. Hazy yellow-brown pour with a thick, off white head. Raisiny aroma with a touch of vanilla. Great dried fruit flavor with sweet malts. Medium body with lively carbonation and a little copper penny at the end.

Great Belgian strong ale.Pours a dark amber/brownish color, head is a light tan color and long lasting.Smells of grapes,alcohol and fruits, tastes nearly as it smells.Thoroughly enjoyed both draft and bottle.Had on draft at Deer Park Tavern in Newark,DE.

330ml bottle. The beer pours a dark brown color with a large off-white to tan head. The aroma has a lot of Belgian candy sugar as well as some dark fruit and a little bit of toffee. The flavor is full of dark fruit. I get a lot of raisins, as well as some cherry and plum notes. There is a little bit of sweetness from the candy sugar, as well as some brown sugar and molasses notes. The alcohol is very well hidden and is barely noticeable. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice beer.
