Pours a dark brown colour, firm head that lasts.
Pleasant aroma of fruit and yeast.
Taste is pretty smoky and a let down on this one, I expected more, the Tripel Val-Dieu is much better.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle, Belgian Belly, Manchester. A re-visit to a saddeningly average brew which flatters to deceive. Poured a dark purpley brown colour with a lively rocky beige head. Aroma had some dark fruit, chocolate and yeast, and II’m thinking we’re good to go with a cracker here...Sadly the wheels started to fall off after the first swig. Overtly sweet and too heavily carbonated was my overwhelming impression. The heavy yeast and sugar notes aren’t endearing so this isn’t one I’d re visit for a further try.

An enjoyable beer, but as an belgian beer enthusiast I expected more.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
500ml bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown. Huge off-white head that lasts a long time. Aroma is very sweet to me, you can pick up the alcohol on this one. Nice body on this beer, definitely reminiscent of brandy. This is a very nice ale, not what I was expecting when I saw a "brown" abbey ale on the bottle.
