Pours dark reddish-brown with a large, foamy/rocky, tan head. Spicy yeast aroma, with large fruity cherry notes, and just a hint of alcohol. Slightly fruity flavor, with a big spicy yeast character, just a hint of green apple, and a light bitter undertone throughout. Palate is a bit thin, but has a nice spicy character, and just a bit of fruity sweetness.

Dark brown with a nice, creamy and golden head. The aroma is like the peel of fresh green apples. The mouthfeel is smooth and the aroma has notes of roasted malt, a nice sweetness, caramel apple peel (green delicious) and other fruits. A nice one.

Bottle. Pours rich dark brown with red highlights. Roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee on the nose. Also hint of dark fruit sweetness. Roasted malt on the palate gives way to a yeasty bitterness. Fairly rich mouthfeel. Finishes dry and musty. Interesting.

Appearance: Nice dark brown with reddish tones. Medium head. Aroma: very aromatic, fruty with touches of vanilla. Sweet, presence of plums, candy and toasted malts. Low presence of hop, but inside the style. Flavor: Sweet begin and to progress in a bitterness of highly toasted malts, of medium persistence. Low presence of hop and yeasts. Notes of candy and red wild fruits. Palate: Medium body, velvet texture. Medium carbonation. Very good, a delicacy. (sorry for my english)

It´s a very good beer but I don´t like the fizzy carbonatation. I think that´s my kharma. Good body, nice aroma.. very good taste, citrus, malt, and sweet hops.. but that carbonatation.... Is a little bit alcoholic as well

Draft. Cloudy, dark brown body with creamy off-white head. Strong aroma of malts, caramel and butterscotch and fruits especially mashed banana, raisin, plum and grape. Notes of citrus and mustiness, cobwebs The flavor is sweet and only lightly bitter — actually more tart than bitter — in the finish. Medium to full body. Creamy mouthfeel. Nice carbonation. Good beer.

750 ml. bottle...very fizzy, flavors of dates, chocolate, apples; a fair amount of head, which was off-white in color. Aroma was very pleasing at first but smelled foul once the glass was empty. Still, it did not detract from what was a most enjoyable dark Belgian.
