Very good, nothing too special about it. It is similar to a chimay bleu but toned down just a little. I like and it and find it very drinkable, but it is not super special or unique. Just nice and smooth and balanced.

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2006 Bottle at Vielle Ardennes in Bouillon (Belgium), a dark cola-brown colour with a pillowy white head - that laced well down the glass. A nutty aroma with roasted malt. A sweetness in the mouth that builds through the swallow. Strong molasses flavour.

I had this on tap at Chapel Hill Wine Bar with Jonathan3584 and we were pleased to have it available in North Carolina, regardless of how it tastes. A pleasant departure from Flying Dog’s Pale Ale, which we normally drink at the Wine Bar.

a deep opaque brown with a large creamy tan head. aroma of chocolate, caramel, and mint. smooth palate with a light body and chalky aftertaste. flavors of caramel, herbs(mint), licorice, plums, maybe some honey. finishes a little too quick. i wish it lingered around for a long aftertaste. i liked it better than the 10.

UPDATED: FEB 9, 2009 Bottle (75 cl) from Systembolaget. Dark reddish brown, somewhat hazy, with a medium short-lasting beige head. Big, malty aroma with dried fruits, dark bread, roasted wood, herbal hops, and yeast. Medium bodied and good carbonation. Very dry and bitter finish. Really good.

UPDATED: APR 8, 2007 A Mes rate:
Draught from Lowlander. YUM! Dramtically better draught than in bottles. Nice semi-translucent mahogany colour. Decent tan head that lasts pretty well. Heavy in the lace department. Sweet coffee ice cream nose. Flavour is vanilla, chocolate, cherries, almonds and coffee. A little flat and lifeless in the palate but it will do. The finish is great while it lasts. A quick sugary swish round the mouth and then slightly bitter but it’s all over a little too suddenly. Complex and slightly unusual dubbel. Wish the bottle tasted this good.

UPDATED: DEC 5, 2008 On tap at some crappy belgian beer bar, poured into its own glass. Yeasty aroma, mild raisins, spice. Very drinkable for the style and for 8%. Taste, plummy, kind of like a yeast-forward dubbel. Enjoyable. Has a great sweet note that is reminiscent of Pannepot, while retaining a nice, light body.

Dark reddish orange with a medium sized, foamy head. Sweet, spicy, fruity aroma. Flavor is brown sugar, molasses and a raisiny sweetness. Yeast and alcohol bitterness rounds out the crisp, dry finish balanced by a smooth, creamy palate.
