Apr 23, 2006 Updated: Apr 16, 2007Pours dark brown with no head. EXTREMELY sweet. Strong aromas of marzipan and sugars. Full bodied and breadlike. Warming alcohol in the finish with more marzipan. Way too sweet. We tried to mix it with a kriek... it got slightly better. (14/04-07) 2002 vintage The beer is not so sweet anymore. I has a bit more earthy and dusty flavors. The beers has certainly gained from the lagering.

Apr 17, 2006 this came highly recommended when i was in the store talking to a guy who tours the breweries in belgium every year. sweet aromas of plum and caramel, flavor of spice with some alcohol warming. if you’re a belgium fan, this brown beauty will definitely rate up there with the finest.

Apr 16, 2006 dark brown color and a small creamy off white head that strangely coats the outside of the glass as you drink it. caramel, toffee malt aroma. really sweet. the sweetest belgian i’ve tried. caramel, plum, raisins, other dark fruits, candy. tons of sugar. this stuff must rot your teeth faster than cola. WAY too sweet but the alcohol is completely covered up.

Apr 16, 2006 Bottle. Pours with a look not unlike cola. Aroma is practically non-existent. Taste is of alcohol (pretty well hidden for the 11%, though) and sugar/caramel. Nothing exciting at all about this beer, went in the sink after three sips.

Apr 6, 2006 Bottle courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear dark reddish-brown with a spare diminishing off-white head. Sweet aroma of malt, dark fruit, yeast, sugar and alcohol. Flavour’s just as sweet, a touch too much for me. Tastes of caramel malt, brown sugar, dark fruit, spices and yeast with a mildly bitter alcoholic dry finish. Medium bodied. This is pretty decent but it doesn’t knock my socks off, I’m just not into overly sweet Belgians.
