Bottled. Dark brown with a rich cotton like head. Malty, vineous nose with notes of dried fruits and almond. Rich malty flavour, somewhat sugary with melon and almond notes. Noticable ABV but leasantly warming.

Deep brown colour, thin but persistent and creamy head. Lightly sweet and alcoholic aroma, with traces of chocolate. Fruity (strawberries and cherries) and malty taste, quite sweet with traces of caramel. Nice persistent chocolate aftertaste. A good beer, but actually quite far from the best Belgian beers.

RBSG 2005... Poured a copper brown color with a light tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, spices, banana, and caramel malt. Taste of tart grapes, raisins, citrus, yeast, and light alcohol.

Dark colored with a bold tan head. Sharp malt aroma. Not to overhwelming scent of dark fruit, prunes, dates...etc. Sweet and sour flavored just right. Tangy and crisp. Aftertaste leaves a semi-chocolate flavor. Believe I have an older bottle so being aged the alcohol is very minimal. Not too warming but a satisfying beer.

Smooth, sweet and smokey malt nose. Not too sweet for a Belgian which is good in my book. Hints of plum, caramel and oak highlight the taste; a very enjoyable ale.

Had this on tap at The Ginger Man in Manhattan. Great beer at a great bar. Classic belgian creamy beige head on dark brown. Nice alcohol notes in the aroma. Very well-balanced taste. Sweet, slightly roasted malt flavor. Subtle hops. Not incredibly complex, however a great beer to sip slowly and enjoy.
