Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Pours a darkish red/brown. Aromas of spice, coriander, yeast, and alcohol. Flavor has an alcohol taste to it, mixed with a nice smokey dark fruit. Also has strong hints of spice and orange.

2007 bottle...An amazing texture and presence on the palate. A substantial dark ale with roasted cherry flavor sits behind a restrained wild yeast mild sourness. All 10% of the alcohol is undetectable. Was excited to get my paws on this bottle and it lives up to its rating.

A dark and even for Belgian beers rather sweet beer. The taste is full of raisins, dark prune and burned notes. It’s smooth and gentle and might go well with some (not too sweet) dessert.

A beautiful one. So dense and velvety. It is syrupy sweet and delicius. It is remind me of nutwine. The nose is fantastic. Dark fruits ans spices smells. It slips into the groove without difficulty. Very delicate body.

33 cl bottle. 2007 Vintage
Aroma: Sweet with a hint of yeast, fruits and caramel. Not the best, but complex and alluring.
Appearance: Almost black in the glass with a moderatly thick, cream colored head.
Taste: Sweet and pleasant with a sting of bitterness just towards the end of the sip. In the aftertaste you’ll find a hint of coffee and honey that lingers for quite a while.
Palate: Lightly carbonized and creamy makes the honey taste protrude and intesify.
Overall: Splendid beer that all should taste.

Beer at its best. Aroma is a complex sweet one with spices, caramel, chocolate, coffee, raisin, and a slight sense of vanilla. Pours with a nice tanned head and ruby, brownish color. Tastes medium sweet, almost like a dessert beer. Medium body with creamy texture and a well-balanced carbonation. Overall my favorite, and will be hard to beat. A well deserved Thank you goes to De Struise Brouwers.
