Pours a dark brown colour with a thick beigeish head. Aroma of sweet toasted malts, spices and toffee. Flavour of sweet toasted malts, herbs, spices, toffee, syrup and raisins. Alcohol warms nicely. Full bodied, somewhat sticky but at the same time smooth mouthfeel and a long, warming, fruity finish. Quite an extraordinary Belgian Strong Ale.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 CaptainCougar (6747) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - MAY 19, 2004
Bottle best by 4/04: Hazy dark copper color with a dense and well-lacing head. Aroma is musty and bready with a touch of yeast and tartness. Body starts light and syrupy sweet with some cookie dough maltiness and a semi-dry warming finish. Decent complexity and hides its alcohol well, but could use a little more body and balance. Very drinkable though.
