Solid in belgian style, full bodied. Doesn’t surprise nor offend. Served in original glass doesn’t really lend to picking up the aroma

I found this beer somewhat mediocre. This beer seems to be more industrial than craftbrewed. Sweet.

Bière-Luc (290) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - APR 17, 2013
(Bue dans le verre traditionnel) - Orangée, ambrée, cuivrée (name it!) avec un col de mousse garni et une bonne effervescence. Nez de prune et de caramel. En bouche, l’alcool se révèle enfin avec une touche sucrée de toffee en entrée et une finale plus amère et sèche. Un bon classique belge qu’il fait bon revisiter.

Silvan7 (119) - Samarate, ITALY - APR 15, 2013
BOTTLE @ home. Grande classico, quindi non mi dilungo. Profumo intenso di caramello e malto. bell colore rame scuro, quasi bronzo, con schiuma biacastra, piuttosto compatta di consistenza cremosa, poco stabile , non persistente. Versata nel classico "cocchiere" sorretto dal legno, dimostra una bella vitalità nel bicchiere. il corpo è medio consitenza appiccicosa per il grande livello zuccherino. Di gusto è dolce, discretamente carbonata, calda e alcolica , rilascia anche gusto di spezie e frutta candita. aftertaste lievemente luppolato.

Een bruisende volle smaak in je mond. Lichte tinten van volkoren graan dansen op je tong met een half bittere afdronk. Rond pallet. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
