Il colore è rosso vivo quasi sanguigno e la schiuma cremosa e compatta ma non persistente.All’esame olfattivo si avvertono immediatamente le note speziate.All’esame gustativo invece si nota un’immediata astringenza che da spazio dapprima al dolce caramellato dello zucchero candito e poi a quello dolciastro di frutti di bosco e bacche.Nonostante il tenore alcolico risulta molto beverina

On tap at Naked City. Looks amazing- wow, pours a dark garnet color with a nice beige head. Aroma is pleasant but not too strong- mostly sweet vanilla and cinnamon. The flavor is similar with some dark fruit, spice, and cookie malts. Smooth with a sweet malty finish.

Pours a mahogany colour with a large short lived head. Aroma has a lot going on. Belgian yeast up front with toffee, sour cherries, candies, and bread. Tastes is sweet initially, then gets slightly sour and a little bitter. Tastes like chewy candies, figs, plums, spice, cherries, and toffee. Palate is decent, good not great. I like this beer because of the complexity, but the sweetness is a little much for this beer to be great.

Draft - a dark amber or light brown beer. Very clear. Off-white head, quickly dissapating. Aroma is nutty and sweet, roasty, with chestnuts and pleasant belgian yeast.

750 ml bottle.
Pours a dark, only slightly opaque brown colour with a large, foamy, natural white head. Aroma of sweet dried fruits and syrup. Flavour of sweet caramel malts, syrup, raisins, mild nuts and some hops in the background. Medium bodied with a thick mouthfeel and a dry, slightly warming, malty finish. Yet another pleasant brew from d’Achouffe.

Bottle 33 cl from Drinks of the world. Poured reddish brown with tan head. Lots of dark dried fruits and brown sugar in aroma. Sweet, but quite alcoholic taste at first. Fortunately it turned out more better later on with some dark fruits dominating the flavour. Sweet brown sugary finish. Very pleasant brew.

Draught pours a nice nut brown color with some light tan head in my snifter. Aromas are malty, some peat, and banana. Taste is malty and a bit bready at first, with hops coming into play and creates a nice balance. I like this beer a lot. Body is medium, carbonation is high. Overall, a great beer...a can’t miss favorite.
