Taste is malty and sweet. Perhaps too sweet for my tastes. All in all a good belgian strong ale. DeadGuyFrank (347), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA

This is a nightcap beer, no doubt. Slow sipping style and full of alcohol, drink it at room temperature...you will get much better complexity, but you knew that drinking a Belgian. radagast83 (1317), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

Aroma immediately brings to mind a Belgian Strong Ale. It’s sweet, slightly dry, and has a wonderful aftertaste. Definitely not a beer to drink in a hurry. blklab2007 (987), Connecticut, USA
