Oct 24, 2004 (draft) Clear red-brown body with lovely frothy beige head, leaves nice lacing. Both aroma and taste are medium sweet, fruity, anise, clove. Creamy light-medium body, light carbonation.

Apr 14, 2005 Very dark ruby red, rocky head, excellent lacing. In the nose: caramel, raisin. Only in the Magical Kingdom of Belgium could descriptions like "wet surgical bandage" and "cobweb" mean a tasty beer. Combined with lots of candied sugar and enough bitterness (or perhaps astringency). Short finish. Not hugely complex, but enjoyable.

Feb 6, 2004 Dark chocolate with a small tan head. Sweet malt with woody floral tones. Initialy sweet with a slight bitter in the middle. A spicey aftertaste. A good brew and one I will have again.

Dec 17, 2003 On tap at the Belgian beer cafe. A good yeasty fruity aroma featuring plums to the fore. Sweet with plums again featuring. Body seemed slightly thin for the style but overall pretty good.

Aug 28, 2003 Interesting but rather one dimensional: "bruin" color, medium thick head, aroma of rare spices and chocolate (the most interesting thing in this beer), standard sweetish palate.

Feb 9, 2004 On tap. Dark copper appearance with a medium head. Fruity, yeasty aroma that carried through to the taste. Finished sweet with a bit of a toffee flavor.

Sep 18, 2005 Deep brown with hints of maroon. Medium, creamy, off-white head. Very spicy: pepper, menthol, pumpernickel, rye, anise. Moderately sweet, lightly acidic flavor. Moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter finish. Just too spicy and not sweet enough to really do it for me. Medium-full body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation.

Jul 22, 2003 Updated: Oct 16, 2004Deep brown ale with a big generous white head that accompanies you until the end. Spicy chocolate and vanilla aromas. The mouthfeel is full, creamy. Very sweet in mouth, but the spices keep the balance up. Not complex for an abbey, but if we forget the category and just enjoy it, it remains a good dessert.
