May 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. malty, sweet, notes of caramel, brown sugar, some spices. Rich. Not bad, but it’s a little too sweet malty boozy. could be a little more balanced.

Apr 19, 2009 Pours clear dark reddish brown, good sized head, nice lacing. Sweet aroma of bread, chocolate, vanilla, spices and some yeast. Flavour is like the aroma, sweet with some alcohol heat, good hop bitterness in the finish. Quite smooth and full bodied, with a moderate amount of carb. Enjoyable, but not incredible.

Apr 19, 2009 Bottle, 12oz. It pours a lovely, ruby brown body, looking clear, and topped by a creamy, finger-thick beige head that lasts. Dried fruits, salty licorice, brown sugar, some alcohol and a spicy hop note. Full-bodied, slighlty warming and quite fizzy in the mouth. There’s dried fruits, some fresh fruits, blue plums mostly, sugars, a little spicy touch, a fine bitterness and alcohol in the flavor. The finish is lasting, with a slight alcohol burn, dried fruits, sugars and a herbal bitterness. Some caramel and a little bready touch blends in all the way. A nice one, but not in the league of the best Belgians. Will certainly have more of this one though. (090419)
