| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 25, 2008 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. Allen (1335), Switzerland

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. gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Jun 14, 2008 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. nhorween (639), Chicago, Illinois, USA
