Deep clear garnet, the head is large, frothy, beige in color, the lace in sheets clinging to the glass. Nose is malt, nutty sweet, grainy, or earthy if you like. Sweet front, the top medium, the finish is nicely hopped, dry, tart, moderately carbonated, a quite decent beer. Ranks #483 on my current 1000 beer master list.

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.
