Crazy head on this beer! Nice dark color with a belgium smell. Taste great though and will do the job! My buddy had a bottle though that said it was a artisanal belgian brown ale and that it was 8 percent whats the deal ratebeer.com!

Bottled: Had this a bit late in the evening to rate properly. Nice sweet fruity aroma, deep brown with a quickly vanishing head. Malty, brown sugary notes along with raisins and hints of plums/prunes. Creamy smooth mouthfeel. Initially seemed overly sweet but became enjoyable. Alcohol is not very evident. Needs revisiting

Draft at Max’s. Pours a dark brown, no head, a lot of lacing. It is a little too sweet, with the aroma and taste of pear and grape.

Brown with medium off white head. Sweet flavor with toffee, yeast and fruits. Malty flavor with fruits, spices, tofee and warming alcohol in the end.
