Mar 15, 2009 Bottle from Montreal. Very dark copper with a very big lasting brown head and lacing. Strong dark malt aroma with hints of candy sugar and yeast. Dark malt, brown sugar, plum and apple flavour. I found it too sweet to really enjoy though.

Mar 13, 2009 Dark amber almost black colour and a small white foam. Has a weak spicey smell. The taste is a bit metallic and mildly spiced. A bit weak in the taste. Not as good as the Blonde.

Mar 6, 2009 330 mL Bottle. Pours a deep brown / ruby with a 3-finger pale beige head that does take longer than average to settle to a thin foamy film but lasts and seems to want to leave ample lace on the sides. The aroma is malt and grains, a bit of toasted malt, an accent of spices, and an innuendo of citrus and yeast. The taste is rich malt and toffee with an aftertaste of sweet toasted malt followed by a lingering toffee-like finish. Delicious! As you can see, I’m a sucker for those full-bodied dark beers and the Belgians scored big again on my roster with this one. That mouth-feel just makes me want to have another. For a cool summer evening by the camp fire, this is it!

Feb 28, 2009 En mustig öl som sprider sig i munnen likt ringar på vattnet. Smakerna avlöser varandra, nyanseras allt eftersom. Den avslutande upplevelsen av mörk choklad är mycket behaglig. Lite jämnntjock dock.

Feb 20, 2009 it has been a long time coming reviewing this one, aroma is a nice toffee with some herbs and spice. Appearence is ruby brown with a thin but lingering head that coats the glass with lacing. Flavour is initial sugary sweetness that develops to more caramel with a long cloyingly sweet finish with great bitterness inbetweent. If only all macros were this nice!!

Feb 11, 2009 Dégusté dans un verre trappiste d’orval. Apparence brune rougeâtre foncé limpide avec une mousse moyenne, sans dépôt.Arômes de mélasse légère, de caramel, d’épices et de zeste d’orange. Goût de chocolat mi amère avec orange. Belle équilibre avec une belle complexité à prix abordable.
