Bottle. A dark brown color (still a bit translucent) with a brown head. A rich chocolate malty flavor with raisins and dark fruit. Tasty and rich with a nice smooth finish that hides the alcohol well.

Aug 30, 2008 Pours a clear brown with an off-white head. Very sweet with strong aromas of raisins, figs, dates and plums. Also a hint af toasted malts. Full bodied. Medium to high carbonation. Sweet, dry finish with more dried fruits. Good.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle from City Beer San Francisco. July 2008. Pours a beautiful dark purplish black with a nice head and aromas of fruit, raisin. This has strong cherry, raisin, grape flavours, but seems less well balanced compared to St Bernardus, Rochefort, La Trappe, etc...

Aug 24, 2008 Dark and ruddy mahogany with little head. Plummy cola aroma with pomegranate. Super heavy on body with strong chocolate fruit cake flavors to match. Like a desert in a glass. Low carbonation, low bitterness, low alcohol presence. Very rich and satisfying. I could drink alot of this.

Aug 23, 2008 Bomber. Dark brown, decent size light tan head. Rich fruity nose with figs, dates, plums, and smoke. Flavors are similar with lots of dark fruit, some chocolate, a hint of dough in the finish. Sharp carbonation helps smooth out the strong flavors and high alcohol content making this an easy drinking, if not quick drinking, dark Belgian. I wish I could buy more of this without flying across the country.

Aug 23, 2008 Pours a deep dark brown with light tan head. Dark fruit, raisin, molasses, toffee, candy sugar, plum, bread, spice, clove, and a hint dark chocolate. Thick mouthfeel. An excellent big beer, quite complex.
