Thanks to Kinz for this one. hopdog (5527), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 7, 2004 Poured a dark reddish-brown with a large deep tan head. Subtle aromas and tastes of yeast, brown sugar, and dark fruits (plums and raisins). Bready. Sweet. Slightly spicy. Alcohol well hidden. This was a good beer and reminds me why Belgian Strong Ales are one of my favorite styles to drink!
