Large tan head carbonation good very dark ruby red ale aroma yeast dark fruit raisin rich alcohol sweetness flavour creamy fig yeast raisin port wine plum prune malt sweetness and fruit as well a really lovely tasting ale creaminess and sparkle on the palate nice fizz at the finish malt tastes first class give a great aftertaste

330cl bottle into a goblet. This was one of the first strong Belgian ales I ever tried and now I’m delighted to have more so I can rate it. Aroma is very hoppy and pleasant, with huge caramel sweetness. The taste is really oustanding, with strong alcohol overtones, but the genius of this beer is that rather than try hide the alcohol it exploits it. Wonderful hints of fruit, soy, licorice and more.

750 ml. bottle. BB Date B93 B94. Pours a thin off white head of short duration, over a clear, reddish brown (SRM 18) body.....nose is brown sugar,molasses, with dried cherry, raisin....taste is sweet throughout, with dried cherry, fig, raisin, bit of cola.....mouth feel is light (ABV 12), carbonation low. This meets the style of a Belgian Strong. Neither the aroma nor the flavors are as complex as the best. The sweetness dominates over much, and almost gives it a soda pop quality. It is light in mouth feel, but with a high ABV that is predictable. The alcohol is well hidden. BJCP 8/2/14/4/7

Bottle, bb b93b94, walnut brown colored pour with very fine creamy tan foam, great aroma of raisins, cherries and oak, flavor falls off a bit with some cola, sour peach, cedar, yeast and a bitter twang not unlike Tab, to the finish

Draft at Obriens. Pours a deep ruby red hue with a mostly dissipating head. Nose is sweet malts, dark fruits, and alcohol heat. Flavor is dominated by sweet Munich malts with honeylike melanoidins, hints of raisins and molasses, finishes sweet. Medium-full body, light-flat carbonation, slick texture. A sweet Belgian strong with balance between malt and ester sugars, the low carbonation works here as the beer is very easy drinking with minimal heat on the palate.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small off-white head. Flavor is honey, spice, and yeast. A bit watery for a brune but still solid.

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Pours a darkish red/brown. Aromas of spice, coriander, yeast, and alcohol. Flavor has an alcohol taste to it, mixed with a nice smokey dark fruit. Also has strong hints of spice and orange.

Dark, heavy, and smooth. Sweet and malty, similar to doppelbock. Fruity and yeasty aroma.
