Commercial Description:
Deep burgundy color with a big, fluffy head. Complex fruit aromas with a layered sweetness (honey, then caramel, then toffee) with a hint of licorice and chocolate. A big, rich, abbey-style ale that dries out nicely on the finish.

(Bottle). Aroma of spices, slightly medicinal. Pours dark reddish brown. Medium head. Flavor sweet, with orange. Smooth through the finish. Pleasant enough, but not overly impressive.

I’d call the color mahogany/reddish. Brownish head. Nose is woody and spicy. Feels great on the tongue. Taste is complex, with hints of spiciness and fruit but well balanced with the malts. I really like this beer.

*******MY 100TH******* Bottle listed as 1pt 9.4 ounces- poured out a brilliant amber, clear with a giant cola-colored head. The head itself was incredibly bitter. The aroma was mildly fruity and sweet. The taste was rich with hints of malt, yeast and citrus. Palate was excellent, very smooth. Not bad at all.

2k7 bottle. Pours a perfect dark brown with a huge but dissipational head. Aroma is caramel raisin and yeast, taste is similar w/malts and a nicely accentuated bit of hops. Well regarded.

750 ml bottle. Pours a ruby red, with a pillowy head. The aroma is of pure sweetness and fruits. It has a full mouthfeel, a well balanced flavor profile of fruits, caramel and some spice, and has a clean dry finish. Another quality ale from Ommegang.

Very nice appearance deep caramel red color nice tan head very good retention. Strong alchohol presence rich fruity tones good caramel and toffee aroma, some hints of chocolate malt in the roastiness. Fruity finish definitely dates, figs maybe some plum did not pick up the anise that others seem to have. Very nice belgian style Ommegang is good at what they do for sure. Making a trip to central NY this fall plan to take a tour. If you like Belgians you’ll appreciate this one.
