Smells of sweet malted milk, caramel, nutmeg perhaps. Nice flavor. Very sweet but then also a finish that reminds me of a good espresso. Nice and quite quite dry. Quite a nice Belgian. I havent had one in a while.

Dark brown with light brown froathy head. Very sour floral aroma. Bitter citrus flavor jumps to the front, but finishes with a smooth spicy caramel malt.

Pours a dark amber with a thick, rocky, off-white head. The aroma is golden raisins, cookie dough, candi sugar and caramel. The flavor is very fruity with plums and bananas, cola, caramel and candi sugar. The mouthfeel is light with lively carbonation.

Pours a dull reddish brown with a creamy tan head. It’s got a complex aroma supported by a rich, malty base of dark caramel lightened by sweet toffee. Plenty of fruit to be enjoyed in the nose as well, plums, apples, raisins, and bananas, as well as a subtle spiciness. The flavor is more straightforward, caramel and alcohol with some dried fruits, all blended with a licorice stick. Very soft mouthfeel. It finishes on a mildly bitter, spicy note with the dryness of alcohol. Very good.

Lt brown in color. Thin head that dissipates rather quickly. A little thin in overall mouthfeel. Some yeast and malty flavors.

Pours a beautiful, mostly-clear reddish-mahogany with a holding & creamy almost-tan head. Complexity abounds in the aroma with light funk and prominent basement mustiness forming the yeast profile behind fruity banana & apple... with additional cereal notes and moldy, waterlogged driftwood. Flavor is not as thrilling as the aroma, finding sour fruitiness alongside full malts in a taste that is appealing but uninspired. Fluffy mouthfeel with light astringence to finish. MIld alcohol rears late and lingers with anise (a flavor I couldn’t place until I read the previous ratings... good call by nick76).

Brown mahogany pour with a decent sized tan head. Watery palate, mildly malty fruity flavor. Pretty basic.

The aroma has caramel, (a basement like) yeast, bread, and cola. The appearance is red brown with a medium head. The flavor has bread, caramel, anise, and a little licorice. The palate is typical for the style. Overall it’s good.
