Murky reddish brown, coarse & foamy light beige head. Alcoholic, faint pear, candi sugar, rye bread and herbs aroma. Balanced dark sugary and herbal flavor, berry wine, liquorice, yeast, little cellar and strong alcohol. Medium bodied palate with huge amounts of carbonation. Pretty nice Belgian strong, nothing that distinct nor interesting.

Dark copper color with a nice large bubbly head. Aroma is nice raisin fruit aroma with yeasty dough that I really like in the belgian style. The flavor is a little more miss though. The spice in it seems to really take over for me and kind kills a bit of the fruity maltiness. Nice body and mouthfeel. Finishes nicely.

Reddish brown pour with a huge tan head. Aroma of a sweet fruits and bread. The bread takes over in the flavor. Some nice fruity/nutty notes remain, but the bready malt character dominates. Pretty good mouthfeel. Pretty good brew.

Poures hazy brown in color with a slight head. Smeet malts w/ fruit smell. Alcohol is well hidden which makes this a well balanced beer.

Pours a nice murky chestnut, with some settling floaties. The head is tan, fluffy, and retains 1/4-inch down the glass, leaving nice soapy lace. The aromas are of sweet spiced bread, aerated sugars and dark fruits. Sweet flavors, malty with banana and dried fruity esters. Some nice Belgian sugars, light alcohol, dough and tiny bitters to close the finish. Nice warming mouthfeel, complex and substantive. Very nice brew here, and a great offering from a world class brewer.

Pours a darker copper color with a tan head. Aroma is sweet with dark fruits, caramel malts, a hint of some roasted malts, and a little alcohol. Flavor is malty with a decent dark fruit flavors as well. Slight bitter finish with a little bit of alcohol warming.

Bottle poured a light brown massive head that trickled down to a nice malt palate with hint of prune. Well balanced beer.
