Jan 29, 2007 Pours a dirty brown with a beige head. The appereance looks wonderful in a Kasteel glass. Aroma is chocolate and spicy. Heavy brown sugar in the taste with chocolate raisins. The alcohol is biting on this one. Maybe a little too sweet and strong for my tastes. I was expecting more complexity with this one.

Jan 23, 2007 33cL bottle. I thought it was a good brown but much too sweet for my palate. Not bad, I’m just not a big fan of sweet.

Very commercial beer,

Jan 13, 2007 Bottle that came in a mixed box that I received for Christmas. This really took me by suprise quite simply superb. The beer poured a very dark brown colour with a great malt, molasses and spices in the aroma. this was so smooth and velvety enveloping your tongue with a multitude of flavours again a gorgeously rich malty sweetness yes the alcohol is always lingering around in the background but it never overpowers and as this beer warms it just improves and offers further facets of its character. This really was a top notch beer.

Muddy brown colour. Plum nose, bit sourish and sugary. Sticky mouthfeel with notes of white sugar and marzipan. Alcohol is clearly evident. Bit too sweet overall, which makes it hard to define the mouthfeel anything but cloying.

Jan 8, 2007 (Bottle) Pours brown with red notes. Earthy, dark fruit, raisin aroma with some dark cherries and notes of funky chocolate. Very sweet and sugary. Caramel to candy. Thick mouthfeel. Very sweet flavour with raisins and brown sugar in the finish. Maybe some dark fruits. Big body with some alcohol.

Jan 3, 2007 very dark murky brown with a small off white head. Aroma is dark fruits, caramel, and spices. Taste is caramel, toffee, alot of fruit notes, sweet, almost to the point of being cloying but not quite. Sweet finish with spices. as with most belgians, better and more complex as it warms.
