On tap at Flying Saucer in Ft. Worth. The glass seems a bit contaminated with smoke, but I get a bit of winey smell of plum. Smooth and malty wiith sweet yeastyness. I need a bottle at home for proper appreciation. It’s delicious.

75 cl bottle. Nice, but not as good as other belgian strong ales like Chimay Blue for an example. A bit lame in the flavour, pretty low bitterness, though it has some fine roasted flavours. Very fruity, raisin-like flavours.

Bottled 33cl. Nut brown. Buttery herbal nose with notes of cherries and candy. Sweet taste of roasted malt, marshmallows and cherries balanced by a good bitterness. Slightly sour. Woody.Fulld bodied. The finish is dry buttery with hints of caramel and raisins.

On tap at the Flying Saucer (Charlotte, NC). Rated on 3/7/08. Poured a dark brown with thin tan head. Aroma was malty and sweet with notes of fruit and raisins. Taste is smooth, rich and earthy with notes of spice and ripe fruit.
