Oct 8, 2008 Cola brown with an active light tan finger of head and tons of swirling yeast sediment and carbonation. Head settles quickly with no lacing. Aroma of dark pruny fruits some earthy sweet candy sugar and a light spiciness but definitely not as ’full’ as the Abt 12. Very light mouthfeel, doughy, more candi sugar followed by a mix of figs, prunes and alcohol. Slight saltiness and nuttiness. A little too thin in the finish for me.

Oct 6, 2008 Blindtasted with Wetsvleteren 12 and Rochefort 10.
Definetly a lesser beer than the other two and the one we had must have been relativly fresh tapped. Brown with a huge light brown head that stayed in the glass. Aroma was abit disapointing, caramel malts mixed with dusty hops and only a little bit of dark fruits. Gains some character in the flavor, smooth caramel and toffee along with raisin and a decent bitterness.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle at Kulminator. Rich dark brown with a decent medium-tan head with pretty good staying power. Aroma of heavy/sweet dark, earthy fruits. Flavor followed suit, but with a spice that wasn’t super noticeable in the aroma. Stuck to the palate, but in a good way. Rich, full mouthfeel that did not fade. Excellent and well worth the not so great euro exchange rate.

Oct 3, 2008 Poured from a bottle brought home from a recent Belgian trip. The color is dark brown with a moderate tan head. Sublime aromas of malty goodness. Medium full body and oh so smooth. Complex flavors of caramel malt, fig, raisin, and traces of ETOH. .Great long finishing touches. Superb.

Pours a dark brown, beige head.
Aroma sweet caramel, dark fruits.
Taste sugary / caramel, sweet dark fruits (raisin, figs), a lower version than the Westie12. Smooth mouthfeel.
Beer really live sup to its reputation.
