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.

Nice Abbey Syle beer. Large white head When poured but settled nice. Not that big alcohol taste like I was expecting. Nice and smooth.

Dark, almost opaque ruby-red with an off-white head that all but disappeared in a matter of moments, but left plenty of lacing. Aroma is fruity, with a mostly fig/raisin scent. but touch of alcohol, Taste is intensely malty, somewhat bitter and spicy fruit. Tart and alcoholic, but with a quick finish.

Draft at Wash-Duke. Deep mahogany color with a thin tan head. Rich nose of raisins, malt, burnt sugar. Very complex flavors mix plums, farmhouse funk, candy, alcohol. Interesting beer with a whole lot going on. Not an easy drinker. Finishes pretty clean. I enjoyed this, but don’t see a reason to spend the money on it again.

Tap. Prunes and raisins all over the place. Big malty backbone - toffee. Yeast and baking spices. Nice beer.
