Bottle: pours a dark red with a small dissipating tan head. Aroma: Belgian yeast, raisins/grape juice, some caramel. Rich and sweet taste with raisin, plum juice and chocolate notes. I was hoping the sweetness would coast through but it is balanced with dryness and some yeast notes then replaced by a sweet raisin/plum juice aftertaste. Alcohol is somewhat noticeable. Nice beer though.

Deep and dark with a rich, dark fruit nose. Chewy and full texture. Quite a bit going on with a deep complexity. Notes of raisins, plum, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and black licorice. Earthy, grassy hops with a subdued bitterness. Soothing warmth in the back of the throat from the alcohol. Good stuff.

750ml bottle(Patrons & Saints Club)-Pours a dark brown with a ruby tint with a small ring for ahead. Aroma of roasted malt, raisins, and some chocolate. Taste of chocolate, fruits, and sweetness. This full bodied brew finishes with a nice smooth finish. This is a great balanced beer. 1000 rating

750 ml bottle split between four snifters poured deep mahogany with s very small tan head. Raisins is the major aroma, but there were also some plums and some molasses. Deep chocolate flavor and some darker fruits like cherries in there. Very nice, but was a bit thick and sticky for my liking.

C&C 750 mL bottle from stefanje’s summer secret santa shipment. Thanks! Pours a nearly opaque chocolate brown color with a medium off-white head. Raisin is huge in this beer. The aroma is chocolate, raisin, oats and subtly spicy hops. Taste is chocolate, alcohol, raisins and other dark fruits. Full bodied.
