From the bottle. Pours dark brown; leaves a slight lacing on glass. Nice caramel aroma and clean finish.

Bottle. Syrupy and yeasty aroma. Very nice head. Good lacing. Caramel, raisins and lasting sweet aftertaste. Yeasty flavor throughout with bitter finish and alcohol warming. Carbonated, malty mouthfeel. Very good beer. Would be perfect to add to gameday chili.

A nice beer, no major faults, but nothing to rave about. Sweet and yeasty aroma. Nice flavor, very drinkable, medium body. A rather run of the mill beer, but good.

33cl bottle, gift from Thomas J, brought back from belgium. pours a deep amber, with a giant thick smooth head, with some fluffyness. aroma is very dry malty, roasted malty, coffee. much more roasted than i’d expect. flavor is balanced, smooth, licorice, roasted grains, dark fruits, very very slight sourness or fruityness, ends quite roasted. most of the sweetness is from fruits, so you’ve got a smoked/roasted dry brune here. Quite special. alc well hidden.

Its not as strong as it might be but doesn’t suffer much because of this. Its very pretty with a nice head and nice little biting aftertaste.

Bottle 0.33 l (BB 12/2007). Deep brown red, nice thick fizzy head. Really difficult to pick up any aroma thru the head, but there is some spicy maltiness. Flavor has a nice very slightly liqouricy spiciness and surprising toasty bitterness. Harsh and big flavor, which is pretty good. No yeastiness. Fizzy carb and palate a bit on the watery side.

Pours a mahogany brown with thick frothy house that dissolves down to a thin off white film. The aroma pretty straight forward, burnt sugar, and dark fruits. The flavour is surprisingly decent, starts of with a note peppermint, sour cherry, burnt sugar, some roastiness, ends on a note of licorice. Pretty decent beer, a nice surprise.

Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of dark bread, toasted, nutty, caramel and milk chocolate, light hops and yeast notes of herbs, dough and earth, with brown sugar in the background. Head is average size, fizzy, off-white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start, then finishes moderately bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a fizzy carbonation. Rich in malt and smooth all around. A nice beer.
