Smells like a spicey plum. Nice dark dirty brown color. The plum scent tastes more like a spicey licorice stick or rasin with a little bitterness. ABV is very well hidden, good beer.

Tasted at Kaunis Kampela. Pale beige head. Clear copper brown colour. Some apple in the nose. Some hints of syrup and malts in the nose. Strong malty taste with some hints of roasted sugar. Proper sourness. Also some hints of cacao in the nose. Some marzipan in the aftertaste-

Bottled. Cloudy and dark brown in colour with a rather large head. Malty and sweet with notes of dark dried fruit, spices and yeast.

A deep cloudy brown body with a short tan head, this strong ale greets you with a nose of yeastiness, but also dark fruit, like plums or prunes. The flavor is smooth and on the [too] sweet side, with a clean malt finish. Not my favorite Belgian strong.

A huge foamer, decided to pour before losing too much beer. Dirty ruddy brown with a thin tan head recedes to a bumpy cover. Tinge of alcohol bite and deep dark candi sugar and plummy aroma. Sweet prune taste with more dark candi sugar.

Bottle, from Noel Cuvelier in Abele. Plum brown, nice layer of old lace colored head. Old fashioned candy aroma, spearment and black pepper. Pleasantly warming plumy alcohol, leafy, peppery bite. Clean minty finish. Well-contructed and full of character.
