3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught, at Rover.
Dark brown with light brown head, nice lacings. Unfiltered. Aroma and flavor of malt (roated, resin and caramel) and hops (flowers and pine). Well balanced. Great beer.

Pours deep, ruddy red-brown with a large tan head (including some dark brown sediment). Cherries, raisin, toast, spice, and a touch of banana in the aroma. Flavor is fairly dry with vinous character, caramel, and touches of cherry around the edges. High level of carbonation gives this beer a zesty mouthfeel. Finishes with alcohol and bitterness. A good beer but not distinctive.

Bottle, Smokeless Joe’s. Incredible, stunning aroma - spice, malt, sweet yeast. Intense, warming, and perfect. Dark brown, small tan head. Medium mouthfeel. Taste is very nice, lots of malt and spice. A really nice hop bite with some pepper. The taste though does not quite live up to the incredible aroma, and is a notch below the Rochefort 8’s of the world - it is a little harsh (just a touch). Excellent beer.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!� Is the best way to describe this beer. It just hits all the right spots. Bottle... Poured deep reddish brown with a beige head. Aroma of cloves and fruity esters with warm alcohol. Palate is light and silky with flavors of raisins and figs on top of buttery, dark malt. It’s close to a perfect beer.
4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JAN 11, 2004 Strong plum/wine aroma. Powerful head that leaves a nice lace. Slight lingering alcohol aftertaste. The taste of dark fruit is surprisingly good. The bottle that I had was 10 months old. The next one I get will be aged for at least two years.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Brownish reddish, slightly murky, decent head. Aroma was a bit raisiny and yeasty. Flavor was sort of vaguely of dark fruits and some yeast. Seemed a bit thin overall. Carbonation was biting. While not a bad beer, it came up sadly short in a number of areas when it could have been so much more.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
via trade with Beer_Hawk - Pours a hazy brown color with a big off white head that lasts. Has a spicey, fruity aroma. The flavor is fruity and tad bit tart. Not much yeast in this one, which is nice. Medium to full body. I’m sorry. As hard as I may try, I can not get into these Belgium beers. Just too fruity. Worth a try though. Thanks Steve.

First there are a big diffrence between tap and bottle, the tap are so much better. Its a dark brown colour, long and wary foam. The aroma are complex with dried fruit, and this beer taste really wonderful on tap, stay away from the bottles, its will disappoint you.
