Aroma sweet malt, caramel, a little vanilla/chocolate. Color rich amber with a nice frothy white head. The first thought that comes to mind when drinking it is soft, this beer is so soft and smooth. Tastes sweet caramel malt. Vanilla, yeasty finish. Excellent beer! Redlight Redlight in winter park serves it in bottles.

Bottle, pours hazy an brown with a medium sized tan head. Nose of burned malt and yeast. Flavour of spices yeast and with notes of dark fruit. Medium to full bodied.The finish is spicy and with more malt.

Bottle 33cl. 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.

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.

33cl bottle. Has a pleasant aroma, taste is rather smokey, almost like a whisky. An enjoyable beer, but as an belgian beer enthusiast I expected more.
