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.

Pours a beautiful deep mahogany. Two finger white creamy head with great lacing and lasting power. Aroma is bready, yeasty and sweet malt. Sweet dark fruit like cherry and plum. Medium body with a nice chewiness. As far as I am concerned the epitome of the style (although I have not had all the belgians yet). Excellent beer.

Poured into a tumbler with a big head that settled nicely but quickly. A really nice chocolate and cigar box like smell. Very full bodied that finished with a bit of a kick at the end. A very good beer.

75 cl corked bottle Reddish brown colour, somewhat hazy. Big, fluffy, collapsing head. Toffee, caramel and chocolate on the nose. Flavour is sweet, fruity toffee. Quite pleasant but might get a little bit too sweet in the long run.

A sweet, rich beer that is definitely right up my alley. I sandwiched it in between two great Unibroues though, and I think maybe it would stand up better on its own. Yummy yum though!
