Very dark brown body with great lacing. Smell and taste are of raisins, plums, huge on hops, and burnt malts. Mild carbonated mouthfeel and creamy. Great beer!

Pours a very dark chestnut brown color with some amber edges when held to a light source and a huge frothy tan head that slowly settles into a lasting cap that leaves chunks of soapy lacing. Spicy peppery aroma with a bit of cinnamon, chocolate malt, brown sugar, candi sugar, licorice and earthy hops. Dark chocolate malt flavor with some nice spicy notes, especially pepper, cinnamon and brown sugar. There are also some nice dark fruit notes; plum, raisin, fig, etc. as well as some brown sugar, candi sugar, subtle hops and some sweet alcohol warmth in the finish.

cloudy brown body, no head, aroma rich malts and alc, fruity/candy sweeetness, taste, despite emormous alc content, not so visible in the beer. very sweet, caramel, sugar, mango, medicine, palate feel is very good and the alc is very warming, a little bit too strong and too sweet, sharp carbonation

Beautiful dark strong. Aromas and flavors of dark dried fruits abound. Alcohol is very well hidden. Strong dark toffee note of caramelized sugar. Went well with grilled steaks. Thanks Chuck!

Bottled 33cl. Appearance: Dark ruby with a huge bubbly beige head. Some lacework. Aroma: Apricot, peach, elderflower and a lot of papaya accompanied by a lot of lemon, milk chocolate, dates and some caramel showing up. Deeply inviting. Not alcoholic at all actually. Flavor and palate: Great balance. Reminiscent of fruit salad with papaya being quite present. Very nice. Smooth. Warming finish with hints of caramel and fruit. Overall impression: Very good. An impressive belgian strong ale. Extremely fruity. The alcohol is very well hidden.

Bottle. Deep brown pour with a nice beige head on top. Aroma of dark fruit. Fruity, sweet, caramel, Christmasey taste. A very elegant brew indeed which matches St B 12 and Westy 12. I could drink a lot of this!

Bottle. This beer kind of reminds me of Westvleteren 12., just not as complex. It has kind of the same palate and body. Smooth and sweet. Sweet milk chocolate, hops, spices and licorice.
