GJF (480), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA Jan 31, 2008 Updated: Jul 8, 2008A dark reddish brown beer with a tan head that fades quickly. Light fresh bread aroma. Pleasant blend of yeast, malt sweetness, and sour. Good but not outrageous. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 31, 2008 750 ml bottle in tulip glass, has a lot of carbonation which I liked, amber color with spice, caramel and hops, nice head with medium body and strong finish Theis (3617), Denmark Jan 31, 2008 Bottle at ØLbaren. Cloudy red/brown - white head. Berries, fruity, yeasty, nutty, sweetness, madium carbonation. OK - but typical belgian style !! ogglethorp (882), Ohio, USA Jan 31, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light brown color with a rocky tan colored head. Aroma is caramel, spices, light roast, some dried fruits. Flavor is again caramel, light roast, raisin, spice. palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished on the sweet side. Good stuff, great price! nwilder (40), Denmark Jan 31, 2008 It pours deep reddish brown, with a lingering rough tan foam. The aroma is dominated by a rich spicy raisiny caramel, with an interplay of sweetness and roasted notes blended with elements of pear and dried dark fruits. Upon tasting, one is struck by the vigorous carbonation. As it subsides, the caramel takes center stage with the fruit and spiciness, making a gorgeous display of flavors. Toward the end, the spicy peppery element transitions into a streak of mild bitterness, leaving behind spice, caramel, and bitterness in the final notes with a licorice like association. demitriustown (689), Shelby Township, Michigan, USA Jan 29, 2008 750 ml bottle: Aroma is sweet fruit and a nice roasted malt scent. Caramel, Raisins, roasted malts, and a nice fruity overtone that makes this a nice aromatic brew. Pours a semi opaque reddish brown with a thick tan head that lingers. Taste is nice caramel malt overtone with a nicely spiced note. Somewhat alcoholic but not over the top. Overall, a pretty nice drinkable ale. I’m glad I brought my bottles back and got this brew. vikasdesai (15), USA Jan 24, 2008 my favorite, priced right, so smooth with molasses flavor, cofee, and hops, great for the palate, infinitely better than any wine , great w/ cheese dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 22, 2008 750 courtesy/split with Naka. Pours brown w/ amber hues. Caramel, puffy head, long lasting. Sweet caramel nose with hints of fruit; apple and raisin.
