This beer rocks.
The commercial description is sufficient. I won’t repeat it. If you like Belgian beer, you’ll enjoy this hearty brew. It’s not Westy Extra 8, but it’s damn good. Hey, next time you’re at the Baseball Hall of Fame, stop by the brewery have ’em draw one for you.

Aroma resembles burgandy wine, with dark fruits like raisin and prune. Deep mahogany color with a beige head that flattened quickly. Medium bodied, with near fizzy carbonation (real ale). The flavor is caramel, toffee, raisin, prune, and some chocolate. The mild sweetness dissipates, and the finish is relatively dry. There is arguably some bitter, and likely some anise. Complex ale.

A Mes rate:
Yet another bottle that Sim purchased in the states. Gouden Carolus type aroma. Sweet, fruity and alcoholic. Glorious appearance. Flavour is just like the nose. Reasonably complex and well balanced. Very spritzy palate. Bitter finish that doesn’t quite live up to the rest but damn good stuff overall.
