Dark muddy brown color. Aroma of licorice, raisins and other dark fruits, malt, caramel and some roastiness. Very sweet malty flavor with some brown sugar, raisins, prunes notes, chocolate notes, light wood hints, a bit of alcohol and a bit of yeast. Full-bodied. A good hearty ale but a bit too sweet for me. fidel (1015), Livermore, California, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 28, 2008 Bottle. A really good Cru. Not nearly as overwhelming or as tart as Rodenbach. The pour and color are very much like a Quad, but lighter and thinner. Very heavy aroma of dried fruits, cherries, fig and molasses. The mouthfeel is excellent with the right balance of fizz and tartness. I get the chocolate hint on the aftertaste. Excellent. Would by this again.
