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.

Creamy, fluffy, light brown/red head.. It pours light brown, but in the glass the body becomes dark red and slightly unclear. Flavor is just great. Very sweet dark fruit, but also very dry which compensates for that. Overall very smooth drinking,,, Very nice long dry bitter finish. I had this one several times.. it is my absolute favorite for now.

Can’t say enough about this one. Love it! Rust pour with tan creamy lasting head, nice lacing, large particles/muce sediment, brown sugar smell, creamy texture, soft carbonation, sweet with some fruity tang hints of orange, smooth. I have a slight bias, one of my favorites.

Papillon (280) - Sudbury, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 14, 2009
330 mL Bottle. Brown / burgundy body with a big fluffy tan head that settles after a few minutes and laces the sides of the glass generously. The aroma is very complex; ripe dark fruits including prunes, figs, and raisins, vanilla, innuendos of toffee and cherry, sweet malt and grains, and a floral spiciness to it. Bold, complex, almost wine-like flavor includes black coffee, figs, prunes, and a very faint hint of cherry. A bitter-sweet spiciness comes through in the aftertaste followed by a nice dry bitter finish that lingers. Hey Belgium, you’ve got another ace.
