11.2 oz. bottle, pours dark reddish brown with a big beige head. Aroma of various Belgian spices, toasted caramel, some floral hops and lots of yeast. Flavour is complex - dark fruits (plum, figs, etc.), brown sugar, treacle and some molasses notes. Highly carbonated though not detracting from any flavour complexities or depth. Lingering palate of brown sugar, with a decent sweetness and booziness. Very solid.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 scottw86 (835) - Maryland, USA - MAR 31, 2011
Poured a deep brown color with a large foamy off-white head. Aroma has some alcohol with lots of grapes. Smells almost like wine. Some tart yeast notes as well. Taste also has lots of grapes and sweet malty flavors. Raisins and prunes also present. I would have liked some more yeast flavors. Alcohol slightly noticeable on the finish. Overall pretty good, but a little too much alcohol.
