Sep 22, 2009 Dark brown pour, with steady small white head. Spicy and citrus aroma, flavor of sugar malts and dry citrus fruit. Finish is very spicy and you can taste the alcohol.

Sep 21, 2009 Dark cloudy brown colour, with creamy lacing. Spicy, fruity aroma. Tastes of currants and syrup. Not my favorite beer, but i appreciate it for what it is, a nice brew.

Sep 20, 2009 33cl bottle. Pours dark amber with a big had that is short lived. A small veil stays on the surface. Nose is powerful, you can smell the dark dried fruits 1 foot away. Some spices also (cloves, cinnamon...). Quite sweet... this is really complex.. I keep smelling it before having the first sip. Taste is malty and a bit sweet at first sip. Then it gets fruity, quite dry, very spicy. Feels warm on the mouth. Some nuts and some alcohol. Quite drinkable considering the abv. Taste is very well equilibrated. Finish is very long and fruity. Some cherries.

Sep 18, 2009 very dark brown, huge beige thick head, very carbonated. smells of nuts, raisins, chocolate, ginger and pepper. tastes wonderful and goes down super easy for a 10% beer. spicy and sweet at the same time on the taste buds. cant decide on an actual taste, maybe fig newtons after all.

Sep 15, 2009 Murky brown beer, like homemade apple cider. Thin head that faded quickly.
Nose is a complex Christmas spice cake. Ginger, nutmeg, and perhaps some unidentifiable berries too. Brown sugar.
Palate is brown sugary sweet with some cinnamony alcohol heat. Fig newtons. Whole wheat toast. Earthy. Wow.
Finish is tangy/sweet. I keep coming back to brown sugar.

Sep 15, 2009 Bottle. Reddish brown pour with frothy off-white head. Aromas of malt, candi, and yeast. WOW. This has so much going on - much more than the aroma would let on. The taste is at first sugary malt, plums, and coriander. It evolves to a darker, rounder maltier flavor and finishes with lingering spice and maybe pipe tobacco. I disagree with some of the other reviewers; I think that the alcohol complements the beer and the style perfectly. I like this beer a lot.

Sep 14, 2009 A "belgian" aroma of sugars, malt, dried fruit and yeast. Taste is of plums, raisins, malt, chocolate, black currant, snuff, cherries and fermented fruit. It’s very sweet, but has some bitterness and acidity too. Alcohol is present in the finish. It gets a bit dull after half a glass - there is some complexity to this brew, but its character gets repetitive after a while. A good beer though, like a sweeter Rochefort 10 with a little more bite.
