Jul 25, 2008 Had this on tap at the Cheeky Monk in Denver. It has that "imported taste" that is strong with most Belgians and I find it fairly disagreable. I wish that I could describe it besides being similar to the oxidized wet-cardboard flavor.
It was dark amber with little head and some lacing. Smelled of Raisins and some noble hops. Tasted of Dates and had a strong alcohol presence.

Jul 21, 2008 Draught@Bishop’s Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg. Beautiful tanned cream head. Dark ruby-brown with good clarity. Marizipan and mellow caramellish malts in the aroma. Refined, light sweet malt flavor. Notes of almonds and cherries. Smooth. Warm, delicate malty finish. Harmonious and easy drinkable. Yum!

Jul 16, 2008 Pours a dark brown red color with a small off-white head. Aroma is very strong and fruity with some spiciness and some woody malt notes. Flavor is sweet malt and very spicy and dark fruit. Almost as spicy as an apple cider. Medium-full body and quite easily drinkable. Really good Belgian ale but there is some alcohol that can be tasted that keeps it from getting a higher score.
