Bottle. Poured dark brown, with a small tan head. Quite malty, a little bit too much caramel-flavor. Overall a great beer, but nothing noteworthy.

Had this on tap at the Cheeky Monk in Denver. It has that "imported taste" that is strong with most Belgians and I find it fairly disagreable. I wish that I could describe it besides being similar to the oxidized wet-cardboard flavor. It was dark amber with little head and some lacing. Smelled of Raisins and some noble hops. Tasted of Dates and had a strong alcohol presence.

Draught@Bishop’s Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg. Beautiful tanned cream head. Dark ruby-brown with good clarity. Marizipan and mellow caramellish malts in the aroma. Refined, light sweet malt flavor. Notes of almonds and cherries. Smooth. Warm, delicate malty finish. Harmonious and easy drinkable. Yum!
