Dec 23, 2008 2007 bottle, aged about one year. A hazy, dark chestnut brown colored body is crowned with a small, foamy, cream colored head. Scant traces of jagged line lacing marks the glass. Aromas include brown sugar, caramel, raisins, figs, floral hops, and mild, dark spices. Flavors are very much the same, with sweet brown sugar and stewed raisins dominating. Further sweetness comes from candied figs, dates, and vanilla, with very little balancing bitterness. Dense and medium-full in the mouth, the sweet, syrupy body gets to be cloying. This is a nice brew, but it is too over the top sweet to be a favorite of mine.

Dec 16, 2008 750 ML Bottle-Dark brown/mahogany color w/a moderate off white foamy head. Sweet, fruity, aroma. Fairly sweet, but very enjoyable; Flavors of candied sugar, malt, toffee, raisens, and dark fruit. Very smooth and easy to drink, long finish of a classic Belgian. Another winner from these folks.

Dec 3, 2008 dark brown pour, not much head, nose is sweet, and so is the flavor, with some aging i think would be more complex but well done drinkable with no carbonation quad

Aroma of malt, caramel, plenty of dark fruits (plums, some grapes, raisins notes) and yeasty notes. Sweet malty flavor with caramel, brown sugar and dark fruits. A drier, slightly spicy and slightly alcoholic, finish. Rather full-bodied with lots of carbonation.
