Impressive creamy head, that never dies down. Sweet complex flavor, that unfortunately borders on nauseating. Dry but yet fruity finish. Typical Belgian and quite nice. And of course: cool label!

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a fluffy light brown head on a deep dark brown body. Lots of sweet chocolate in the aroma along with dark fruit, raisins, plums and hint of berries. Sweet, full and very nice. Flavor starts sweet with a good sour/bitterness towards the end. Pretty well-balanced with roasted malt, cookie, chocolate and sour fruit notes.
Thanks a lot Michael (Dalle) for the bottle!

Bottled (BB 12/2005)
Dark ruby with huge tanned head, lots of lace. Roasted aroma of black coffee and burned sugar. Very port-wineous mouthfeel. Caramel, candy-like flavor with some roasty notes. Sweet, maybe even too sweet. A bit like Scotch Silly. Allcohol warms in the aftertaste. For dessert, and to drink slowly.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Bottled, BBE 2005?) Very, very dark, reddish brown color with a huge, tanned head and strong lacing. Sweetish, very malty, syrupy aroma with raisins and spices. Some wineous old ale character. Syrupy sweet flavor with lots of dried fruit, spices, strong licorice hints, some chocolate and a short, caramel-syrupy finish. Quite full-bodied, sticky-syrupy and foamy, but soft-carbonated palate. A delicious and reasonably complex, full-bodied dessert brew. Too sugary to drink in larger quantities.
