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.

Oct 1, 2008 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.

Sep 30, 2008 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.

Sep 24, 2008 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.
