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.

330ml bottle. Pours a dark ruby brown. Aroma of coffee and brown sugar. Has a bitter chocolate and coffee flavor. This reminds me of some Porter. This is quite good, but I like their Tripel better.

Bottle from BevMo, La Mesa. Dark ruby coloring upon pouring. Moderate off-white head. Aroma is fairly yeasty with a bit of grain and some dark fruit qualities. Rich creamy flavors with some bitter roasted raisins. Seems a little too fizzy. Some spiciness towards the end.

On tap @ McNulty’s: Deep red in color with an off white head. Aroma, bready malts, some molasses, fruits, spice. Flavor, bready, caramel, some tartness, floral hops, tasty brew.

Large beige fizzy head that mostly lasted. Fair lacing. Dark mahogany color. Caramel, yeast, fruit, spice, light toasted notes and what I felt to be light herbs. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and light alcoholic warming texture. Flavor was moderated sweet with some bitter notes. Sweet and light alcoholic warming finish.
