The color was cloudy brassy amber with floating sediment. The head was creamy, thin, and off-white. The aroma was dark fruit, alcohol, and sweet. The flavor was sweet, alcohol, dark fruit, and spice. The palate was lively and medium-bodied. The finish was warm.

Dark brown with a low head. Yeasty and fruity aroma that can also be traced in the flavours, that are full of plums, prunes, liquorice, alcohol and brown sugar.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown color with a moderate white head that produced good lacing. Smelled very predominately of sweet fruit and raisins. The taste was about the same with added noted of banana. Dominated by the malt. Very good beer, although I preferred their Trippel to this brew. Better than Chimay which has much more hype to it.

Bottle. 11.2. Not much on the nose, a dryish must. Pours a deep brownish black with a small off white head. Taste is big and sweet with caramel figs and raisins.
