Quite shocked to see these high ratings for this beer. I do not appreciate this beer at all to be honest. Aroma: The aroma starts off nice, sweet, caramel, chocolate, coffee, good actually. Appearance; What can I say it kind of resembles cola. Taste: Indrecibly sweet, the sweetness seems very, very, very forced. Like they brewed a beer and added molasses at the end. The taste of molasses (I think its molasses might be normal sugar though) is just to much. Palate: Strong tiny bubbles, nothing special here.(Nothin bad neither) Overall: I tend to dislike this one, WAY to sweet, the sweetness seems so forced. Definetly not my beer.

Warming alcohol and nice nutty brown color. Unfortunately that’s all i can say about this beer because it is so undrinkably sweet that I couldn’t even finish it. My least favourite beer ever.

No doubt it is the best beer i have tasted in this trip around Europe. I really like both the appearence and the flavor. Balanced bittter-sweet sinphony in a bottle.

Very good dark beer. Much taste and alcohol

Deep brown color. A very sweet beer, which makes it hard to drink much of it, but the taste is excellent.

Truly outstanding! This ale might be a wee bit sweet for some tastes, but it suits me very well. Superb complexity to accompany the malts, and very smooth and drinkable. A definite Karmaliet.

Bottle from Beautiful Beers. Pours lively with creamy head. Deep dark with red hue. Scent of strong molasses, cane sugar. Taste of dark sweet malts, molasses, roasted oats and some fruitiness. Too sweet for my liking.

A NICE DARKBEER WITCH A GOOD PALATE AND A LITTELBIT SWEET AND A LITTELBIT TO STRON

Rich, malty, complex, fulfilling beer. A great example of a strong dark belgian ale.
