Alcohol nose and flavoring. Tastes like a Belgian with a bit of spice at the end. Quite light in substance for a Belgian.

A thick head tops this Dark amber brown brew. the slightly sweet and sour malt aroma draws you to drink this sweet and spicy flavored brew. A good winter warmer.

hotstuff (3350) - Indiana, USA - FEB 23, 2004
Bottle '02. This beer formed a small sized head with fine sized bubbles. The body was murky with a brown hue. The nose was malty, somewhat hoppy, sweet and fruit notes (orange?). The flavor was malty, spicy and alcohol. The mouthfeel was a little tingly and smooth. This was a medium bodied beer that had fair lacing.

Crosling (1863) - Loveland, Colorado, USA - AUG 19, 2005
Vertical, with a 2002, 2003 and 2004 and I definately perferred te 2004, but I also hate oxidation. Dark ruby color. Very subtle aromatically, comparing multiple samples. Rich toffee and spice with a pretty overwhelming bitter and acidic flavor, along with an orange tone, which may come from spices. Musty yeast as well. Never really been to fond of it.

TheGrandMaster (2335) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - OCT 25, 2006
Draught at the brewery, brown with a foamy tan head. A vinuous malty aroma. Strong vinuous flavours with rich caramal malt, a touch of licorice and a bitter finish.

GeneralGao (3614) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - APR 19, 2010
Bottle. 2009 vintage. Poured a hazy amber color. Soap bubble tan head with decent retention. Smelled of dark dried fruits, spices, and a bit of chocolate. Medium to full bodied and sweet with very low carbonation. Lots of spices in the flavor with molasses and dark fruits. I also got a bit of salted meat.
