Mar 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a ruby colour with a huge, rocky creamy beige head. Aroma of plums, spice and alcohol. Sweet, vinous flavour of plum, alcohol, dried fruit, spices and alcohol. Sticky finish with a strong alcohol presence.

Mar 11, 2009 Thick, murky brown, sticky dense white head, lots of small tight bubbles. Sweet aroma, cola nut and prune, kind of dr. pepper, but more cola nut and less prune. there’s also some slippery sedimentary character on the nose too that softens everything. Is magical too strong? It’s missing a bit from the 12, but not lacking in any way. these beers have swagger and confidence. raisin, dark honey and abbey dubbel yeast. good times.

Mar 6, 2009 Pours super dark ruby brown with nice head. Aroma is spicy yeast, dark fruit and citrus. Flavor is sweet raisin, plum, fig, and molasses. Very complex and tasty. Palate is thick, creamy and full. Excellent composition.

Mar 6, 2009 Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. Pours slightly darker than the 6, but certainly not jet black. Head is fluffy and slightly off-white. The palate and aroma are both unbelievably rich with characteristic maltiness. The flavor is simply outstanding. A must for any lover of fine Belgian examples.

Mar 3, 2009 Amazing brew. Good dark color, great nutty aroma, belgian funky flavor. Prefer the Abt 12 but this is a good one too.

Mar 2, 2009 Nice to have this on tap, super tastey: Poured a dark reddish brown colour, more mahogany i supposed. Medium creamy tan head. Nutty, caramel, maple syrup notes immediately- i noticed it more because i dove in rather than sniffing around. Afterwards, i noticed that plum fruit on the nose- a little over-ripe door county cherries too. Something tart. Nice beer!

Mar 2, 2009 330ml bottle in the St. Bernardus glass. Plum/brown color with a small tan head. Aroma of figs, apples, cinnamon, spices. Flavor and mouthfeel are two-tiered - a sharp carbonation on top carries the spiciness, but the smooth maltiness rests below. Interesting beer.
