Hoppy aroma with hints of alcohol and apricots. Flavors is malty with a long dry finish and warming alcohol. Sparkly mouth feel and oily texture. This is a really well composed and balanced beer. Quite quaffable, if you turn the bottle, as to not look at the monkretard.

Bottle sampled on 6/23/07 shared by boboski: Pours a hazy dark copper mahogany with an airy well-lacing frothy off-white head. Aroma of sweet doughy bready malt with a touch of light fruity esters. Body starts fairly earthy and doughy caramely sweet with some biscuity malt. Smooth, nicely balanced and enjoyable Belgian strong ale.
