From bottle : Pours a cloudy dark brown, with big 2 fingers of white rocky head, that has wonderful staying power. The aroma is unlike any from a Belgian Strong that i have smelled. Dark chocolate with alcohol, and a smell of wood that i cant put my finger on what it is for sure. Sweet fruits start to come out of the aroma has the beer warms a little. Taste is very mild, not much alcohol burn at all. Almost a roasted like flavor in the beginning, with dark fruits and some chocolate. The aftertaste is alcohol and chocolate. Medium body with a smooth feel in the mouth and going down.

Pours a dark clear brown colour with a good size head, that lasts.
Very complex smell that I can’t specifically put my finger on, noneless it’s brilliant.
Flavour also very nice, can pick out raisins, pineapple and pear, but I tasted the beer too cold so I could be mistaking here.
Goes down great, no trace of the alcohol, definitly one of my favorites!

Aug 28, 2008 Had this beer many times, this stuff just keeps amazing me. Pours very deep dark brown, like dark chocolate, with a creamy beige head. Aroma is imo the only "flaw", it could have been stronger. Subtle aroma of dark fruits, mostly malts and dark chocolate, some alcohol. Flavour is soft, malts, lots of dark chocolate, some dark fruits and a bit of alcohol. The beauty of this beer is that you don’t have to work your way through a load of sugary sweetness like with so many other dark strong ales. Soft and creamy mouthfeel, nice lingering finish, full bodied.

Aug 25, 2008 Well balanced and very complex taste of raisen and caramel. A little too much carbonation for my taste, but that is the style.
