Commercial Description:
The creme-coloured, fine-pored froth forms a nice contrast to the dark red-brown of the beer; the nose detects a robust malt scent with subtle undertones: a slightly caramel touch. A malted sweetness is noted when first sampling. This is quite decently supported by a subtle bitter touch. A full-bodied, well-rounded malt taste remains on the palate.

Poured from bottle 3/2008. Aroma of malt, caramel, raisin. Mahogany color, rocky tan head. Malt and fruit in the flavor, with brown sugar and bitterness in aftertaste. Slightly oily feel in palate. Flavors blended well at finish. Not bad.

Bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Bronze color with almost no head. Nutty, roasted malt aroma. Bitter roasted malt taste. Thin body.

Draught at The Belgian Bar in Rotorua (New Zealand) - a surprise ’special’. A light brown with a large foamy head that laced very well. A little metallic on the nose with a touch of chocolate. A very dry palate, with some roasted coffee flavours. A couple of late night drinks by myself on a work trip - it did the trick.

dark reddish, somewhat marzen-colored ale, it packs a lot of malt to it, but not much else except a bit of caramel

Pours a dark reddish-brown colour. Huge frothy brown head. Aroma is malty and sweet, but mouthfeel is light and creamy. Taste is somewhate metallicy with lots of caramel and a firm hop finish.

Nice aroma, very simple taste with very slight hint of caramel and nut, though this is very slight. smooth with a bit of bitterness as it warms. Great beer, especially in the summer.
