Seved in the proper glass and the right temp. The ber was deep amber in color with a light head. The aroma was weet and the ber was such a great flavor. robust in flavors and light fruitness like rasisn was great. This was a great beer to drink. MikeF (528), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 23, 2007 Slightly thin in flavor and palate. overall makes an average Belgian session ale. The robust head will lead you to think the flavor follows -- which falls short. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Sep 19, 2007 Bottle. Very sweet nose, lots of dark fruit. Deep brown with a light head. Flavor is complex and enjoyable, chocolate and grains, raisins, plum, fig. Slightly lacking in body but nice overall. Aurelius (2646), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 18, 2007 Dark, clear ruby-brown. Sweet, sugar and candy aroma. Very sweet, woody, mouldering undertones. Overall like beer mixed with cough syrup without all the cherries. Cidery notes in the finish. Unentertaining. Gpnterojd (163), Orangeville, Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 18, 2007 Pours into a huge, dense, whipped head. Dark reddish brown. Slightly yeasty aroma, with banana and very faint apple. Rich, sweet, caramel apple taste with almost a syrupy body. Surprising taste, considering the aroma. Carmelized fructose. Delightful. drfabulous (1223), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 17, 2007 I prefer this one to the Blonde. It has the better darker taste (it is a Brune, of course) and is closer to the nice Belgian brown style that Americans, for whatever reason, refuse to do. Bradrcr (779), Renton, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 16, 2007 On draught at Barca in Seattle. Aroma is fruity, slightly plasticy phenols forward followed by some clovey notes and very light malt character. No hop aroma. Appearance is medium brown with a moderate off-white head. Flavor is dark fruity malt forward followed by a simple malt sweetness and low bittering. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carb texture and very slight graininess. Overall, a great approachable Belgian that might appeal to almost anyone.
