mikalooch (158), , New Jersey, USA Apr 13, 2009 Pours almost pitch black with a nice tan head with decent lacing. Aroma is almonds, raspberries, and spice. Definite toffee presence with banana, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Thick mouthfeel and leaves a sticky residue. Overall an outstanding beer, very different kind of belgian strong, it doesnt come cheap though. daniele (1642), Italy Apr 13, 2009 scura schiuma non abbondante media persistenza note toste dolciastre speziate frutta secca leggero alcolico in bocca attacco dolce ma non stucchevole poi spezie equilibrate dalle tostaure amaro non molto presente jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Apr 11, 2009 06 edition. 11.2oz bottle-pours a disappearing off white head and cloudy brown color.

Good effervescence. Kind of a Belgian Strong Brown. Thanks to Wasatch for trade with Joe-jwc215 & me. kwatoko (30), Belgium Apr 11, 2009 Bottle. This is one of my favourites. Pours with a firm brown head, the beer itself is very dark brown. Aroma is sweet, with strong traces of liquorice. First taste is very sweet caramelly, with some spices added. In the aftertaste there’s just a small hint of hops, with the caramel-taste sticking in your mouth somewhat. jbuzz (658), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Apr 7, 2009 WOW ... sweet fruits and malts. grreat balance low carbination. slight alcohol with a very active head.
