Pours brown with a large thick head. Aroma is sweetish and a bit malty. Taste has some caramel and toffee. A very good ale indeed.

Chestnut/red body, pristine tan pillowy head. Nose of marzipan, caramel, cherries, and brandy and/or rum. Really, the nose was quite a thick, sensual sweetheart. Intro gives us prickly carbination and flavors of cherry twizler, dried fruit, nuts, and bittersweet chocolate. Overall, it has a very candy-like presence and reminds me a hell of a lot like Ommegang. The malts are thick & luscious and this beer probably makes you cum when coupled with a nice cigar. My only problem is that it becomes cloyingly sweet and mundane if left to warm up too much, so i recommend this to be maintained at colder temps...probably above 50 degrees.

On tap. Extremely sweet and dry dark brown beer. Some dark fruits and roasted malts, but way too much sugar and sweetness. Not good.

A cloying sweetness belies an underlying sourness that melds into a sort of sweet and sour chicken effect. Not appetizing.

Bottle 33 cl. Creamy head, brown hazy body. The aroma is malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet not very complex.
