Apr 28, 2008 750 mL bottle poured into a Chimay chalice. Pours very dark brown with a tint of red. Head is small beige and lasts pretty well. Aroma is very sweet and fruity, raisins and plums mainly. The taste is also very sweet, like it smells. Nicely balanced. The alcohol taste is not very strong, but it comes through enough to give a nice, dry finish. Good, drinkable beer.

Apr 26, 2008 Pours a clear cream soda brown with a small tan head. Aroma is sweet dates and cherries as well as caramel. Flavor issweet and malty initially then more fruity. Long sweet finish. Light to medium body.

Apr 26, 2008 On tap @ redlight redlight. Pours a deep brown with a fine white head, leaves some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of yeasts, dark fruits, slight alcohol and big sweet malts underneath. Flavor was much in line with the aroma. Lovely creamy mouthfeel, very very gorgeous. Glad to try it on tap!

Apr 26, 2008 Tap at Redlight, Redlight. Deep brown into a trappist glass, nice head. Aroma is dominated by yeast, some bananna and fig and alcohol. This is one of the best tasting beers I’ve had though, perhaps its because this is only my second tap belgian. HUGE sweet dark chocolate up front with a toffee middle and finishing with some bananna and raisin notes. This beer absolutely rocks from the tap. I’ve had it bottled and it wasn’t close to as good.

does not count  Apr 21, 2008 Pours a thick rocky tan head. Smells of dark fruit and sweet malts. A good amount of carbonation but flows nicely across the palate. Tastes like it smells. Leaves a slight alcohol sting at the end. Can’t wait to have another!

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle immediately frothed out of bottle when open. Beautiful dark red carmel brown color with light tan head. Wonderful chocolate, carmel and malt aroma. My first thought at first taste is perfect. Like that first taste of home made dark bread that makes you glad to be alive. Sweet and yeasty, dark grains and dark fruit, stone hearth and roaring fire, friends and family. Slight alcohol aftertaste just enough to say beer.

Apr 13, 2008 So Mention that I was 2 away from havig rated 100 Belgian Stron Ales, and Springslicker takes it a personal challenge to make sure I reach that milestone. Firt, he brings out a Victory V10, then this ("I can’t believe you’ve not had this..."). So this one pours brown with a biege headReally nice mix of aromas and flavors, a lot of rich dark bread mixed with fruit like rasin and prune. Never overbreaing or harsh. Thanks!
