bomber poured a dark amber in color with some red tones and a thick dark tan two finger head that was incredibly thick and coated the glass. smell is distinctly Belgian brown, plumb, raisin, beautiful yeast, brown sugar, and plenty of dried dark fruits. taste is great, full tongue of carbination, dried fruit galore, plumb, raisin, figs, caramelized brown sugar, and some tasty spicy yeast. the bottle tastes very fresh punched on the label is lot f & x, best before end 09, and 2008. so many subtle flavors come out as it warms, 9.5% who would know, on my favorite Belgian list for sure.

Bottle 75 cl. shared with friends. A brown beer with a disappearing head and a sweet and heavy aroma of both ripe prunes and cheap rum. The beer itself is a pretty standard Belgian strong, not bad but nothing exciting at all

Bottle. Holy mackarel this beer for some reason lit me up. It pours with a reddsih brown color. aroams are typically Belgian, dark fruit and yeats. Flavors are not what you expect from a dubble: there is more of a chocolate note in there in addtion to yeast and caramel. fairly sweet and very smooth. Complex and satisfying,

Very interesting. The smell is quite strong, whatever it is beyond brown sugar. Taste lasts a long time, with a little bit of dryness at the end.

250ml bottle (Punavuoren Ahven, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks)
Very dark brown, tiny tight beige head. Sticky raisiny and plummy sweet aroma. Lively carbonation. Dark liquoricey taste, very burnt and bitter, a little salty. Almost a carbonated acidity. Liquoricey finish. Maybe the carbonation’s a little too prominent and harsh. There’s also a tingly hoppy finish too. Again there’s carbonated acidity going up my nose. Later the aroma stops being sweet and veers towards salty liquorice too.
