Bottle Pours a very dark brown/mahogany with a very lively foamy very persistant tan head. Thick clumpy lacing. Aromas of brown sugar, dark pitted fruit, and that belgian spice. ABV is noticeable. Flavors are very dark and smokey. Quite charcoaly and woody. Little in the way of hops. Feel is nice and smoth but not particularly thick or heavy. Finish is a soft slightly bitter smokey taste. That Belgian spice is not so prominant in this one...I like it.

Bottle from Brewery Creek in Vancouver. Dark brown colour with ruby red accents and a large off white head that is very nicely retained. Aroma is yeasty with some malt and light spices. Flavor is nicely balanced indeed. Malt upfront with light spiciness and a bit of dryness in the finish. Big, lingering malt note at the end. Quite nice.

May 2006 - Bottle
Pours a nice red-brownsih colour with some ruby hues although it remains traslucent. There is a nice rocky beige head that leaves some lacings as I empty my chalice. Aroma is of dried fruits, plums. Taste is fruity, with a touch of alcohol burnt, easygoing, but I think it would gain from some complexity. Mouthfeel is medium to thik, creamy and silky. Aftertaste is short but intense.
A nice sipper one!
