Not much in te aroma, just a little spicy. This is a nice Belgian strong. The alcohol is noticeable but not bad. I can’t say that I notice the orange peel or the thyme. Mostly just a solid dark Belgian strong.

UPDATED: JAN 2, 2007 The aroma has dark fruit, caramel, spice, and yeast. The appearance is mahogany with a nice foamy head. The flavor is very sweet and quite bitter but mostly like the aroma. The palate is average for the style. Overall, it kind of reminded me of a bitter alcoholic spice cola.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark red-brown colored with little light brown head. Spices and licorice dominate this aroma with some berry sourness, mild alcohol also here. Medium to full bodied. Flavor has also strong licorice with sour berries, mild alcohol also here. Aftertaste lasts with dry yeast and licorice still. Slight disappointment.

2008 750mL. Pours a deep brown with loads of floaties. Nearly opaque. Thin creamy tan head leaves good lacing and sticks around. Aroma is slight balsamic vinegar, cinnamon apples, Granny Smith apples, Goldschläger. Taste is vinegary, some dry cocoa powder. Falls apart in the finish. Dry, malty, and mediocre.

On tap at Gollem (Pijp), A’dam. Solid, prickly mouthful. Warm and bitter. Alcohol a bit overpowering. 3 euros.

Pours a murky brown color with yeast sediment in suspension, thin head. Very pleasant, complex and subtle aroma of thyme, curaçao, bread and sugar. Very good flavor of caramel, malt, curaçao, it seems to be fruity too, slightly acid and sweet finish. Full body, full enough to hide it’s alcohol content of 10%, slightly liquorous texture, soft carbonation. Very good, well-balanced, n’icely done !

2006. I have yet to be disappointed by a Dachouffe beer. This is sweet and malty. There is lightly fruit and a solid base of sweet malt with the hops no where to be found. It might best be described as a classic Belgian strong; it doesn’t try to push any boundaries or make you think too hard. Dark brown and medium carbonation.
