Feb 9, 2009 Bottle from Kris or Nelson Wines, it’s been too long to remember now. Pours reddish amber with a lasting off white head and lots of sediment. Nose is sweet malts with dried fruit, caramel and candi sugar. Taste is much the same, obvious Belgian yeast notes, a little cakey with some subtle warmth. Hadn’t had a Belgian brune for a while and it definitely hit the spot, it’s kinda given me the thirst for them again.

Feb 3, 2009 Bottle: Ruddy brown, smaller creamy beige head, lots of UFO’s detectable; solid sweet caramelly nose with a distinctive touch of coriander and with some vinous illusions; moderate to solid sweet flavour, medium bodied; warming alcohol in the sweet-caramelly finish. Pretty overrated sweety............

Jan 20, 2009 Bit of a gusher. 33cl bottle, gift from donfardz64.
Slightly funky, yeasty aroma. Quite a floral nose, mostly rose. Sweet, biscuity malt aromas, vanilla and a candy-like sweetness.
Flavours aren’t as sweet as the aromas. There’s a bit of a zesty, almost citrus tang to begin with. This then turns a bit bitter near the end.
Plum and banana fruits on a strong, grainy malt base.

Jan 18, 2009 Bottle. Ruby-brown body with some dregs that probably is’nt suppose to be there. Big very shortlived head. Aroma is prunes, sugar candy and some caramel. Flavor is very sweet and malty with notes of burnt sugar and caramel. It unfortunately seems a bit flat, but is a nice brew anyway. Hopefully the next one will be better, with a higher carbonation and without dregs.

Jan 13, 2009 Bottle. Protein and yeast really shaken out, ruby-copper body is ((illegible)), luscious creamy lasting beige head. Sweet malty alcohol nose, some mineral water, caramel and earth with seemingly subtle candi sugar (though I later discover this is a product of pure malt). Taste is a sweet caramel base, a tad too much alcohol showing, muddled fruit and faint figs, but a unified presentation. Has some light port wine character and amusement park flair. Full but not obese body, hops are totally faded, smooth and enjoyable all the way through. Very classy, though I’d’ve loved (and will undoubtedly love in the future) a fresher example. This brewery can do no wrong by me.

Jan 12, 2009 Dégusté avec french tickler le 16 avril 2007.
Cloudy dark amber poor with lots of sediments and a THICK light brown foamy head. Aromas of burbon vanilla, french toast, brown sugar, alcohol, caramel, cinnamon and apple/pear. Very evolutive aromas. Aromas also remind me of a typical rochefort yeast. Very Creamy, thick body, extremely well balanced. Perfect bitterness, nothing extreme... Perfect effervescence! Very complexe flavors added a hint of candy sugar and prunes. 1 -> Creamy 2 -> Oily 3-> Dry bitter finish. Exceptional beer!
