3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 stfrancis (56) - Heffingen, LUXEMBOURG - JUL 7, 2011
Dark Brown pour for 33cl bottle. Tan head. Fruity aromas. Complex taste, notes of licorice, hop dryness dominating, roasted coffee. Not a beer to fit a specific style. Interesting brew.

Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a hazy caramel color with a large tan head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sugar, faint sweet malts and was rather bock like. The aroma was sweet candied dark fruits with a woody and nutty undertone. The finish was long with sugar and nut. Medium body. Solid.

Very nice aroma bread/caramel/raisin aroma. Taste starts out almost candy sweet, but follows with a nice alcohol kick for balance. Great Belgian beer.

4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 cmc619 (238) - USA - JUN 17, 2011
Bottle foamed over when I opened it. Maybe because it was in my backpack for a bit. Poured into slim goblet style glass. Nice seafoam-esque head. Superb, intricate lacing. Aroma is red wine--I might actually mistake it blind--like a very spicy and hot cabernet. Some dark fruits and a lot of alcohol. Perfect serving temperature--probably high 40s to low 50s F. Flavor is rich, sweet, thick, dark fruits, with a matching mouthfeel--yet somehow, the palate stays light and bouncy. A touch of bitter at the finish, but more alcohol heat. Finish is long, wet, and flavorful. This is a beer for kings. Just fantastic.
