3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass to drink. The beer was a cloudy brown-copper color with a big creamy-bubbly tan head that head great retention and good cling too. The aroma featured caramel and dense figs with raisin some pine and grain hops too. The taste was mostly sweet and fruity with a slight raisin flavor and a bit of sourness too. The body was crisp and wet with a medium mouthfeel; it was a bit creamy and had good fizz. I enjoyed this beer a good deal.

On tap with a nice foamy head. Caramel mousse notes but not too sweet. A satisfying and complex brew that I would order again.

Dark mahogany with a fine sized sustained head. Sweet aroma with soft esters and figs/berries. The flavour is fruity with some light toastedness and a little spicyness. Medium body with a soft lively carbonation. Very nice.

Poured dark with a good sized head. Rich and full of flavor; mostly plums and raisins. Great beer, but a little to much carbonation. Expect for that one minor flaw it would be with the other elite Belgium beers.

Pours a clear brown. Moderate head retention. Toasted bread aroma gives way to sweet toasted malt flavor. Finishes quickly. Fairly simple and pleasant dubbel.

A tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. Very nice, hints fo fruit and hop. Slightly dry yet very smooth. Another great Belgian Strong Ale.

11.2oz grenade bottle. Burgundy brown, slightly translucent. Foamy beige head, quite steady. Brown sugar, raisin, prune, toffee..nice aromas. A nice Bruin, rather soft and creamy on the palate. The sugary alcohol is apparent, but the smooth body incorporates it quite well. Dark fruits laced in brown sugar, lots of yeast character. A pretty sold example of the style, which maybe a touch more fruity tones.
