Oct 9, 2008 Old review from notes...
Served at room temperature in Duvel glass. Nice and big rich malt aroma; chocolate, dark cherries, coffee, milk, possibly some smokiness in there too. Dark chocolate body with a big fluffy off-white head and a few yeasty chunks for good measure. Slightly creamy palate, alcohol just noticable. Has an almost vineous note about. Rich dark chocolate flavours dominate. Has this creamy/milkiness about it too. Very tasty and drinkable.

Sep 29, 2008 9/29/08 On draught at the Taphouse, Bellevue, Wa. Aroma is roasty and slightly alcoholic with a slight roasty sulphur tone. Appearance is very cloudy brown with a well maintained cream colored head and excellent lacing. flavor is surprisingly simple but good. It’s all malt, soft, with a very low tangy roast bittering and candilike sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium/full bodied with a light spritzy carb feel and medium/high warmth. Overall, a very easy drinking big Belgian strong; I have to recommend this to anyone trying to enjoy Belgians but finding themselves always overwhelmed by phenolics and sourness.

Sep 25, 2008 Copper red/brown clear under a huge, lasting, tan head with nice scalloped ring lace. Mild caramel malt, faint fruity nectar and very light yeast aroma, some alcohol evident as it warms up. Medium-thin, delicate body. Light balanced bitter sweet start, Caramel sweet and some bitter middle and similar but softer aftertaste.
