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.

Dec 27, 2008 A nice Belgian Strong. Aroma was nice. Brown sugar, strong yeast and toffee. Pour was absolutely perfect. Very heavy sediment. So much so I thought something was in the botle when a big clump fell out and splashed. I loves me some sediment. Taste was strong caramel, raisin and molasses with hint s of cherry and dark fruits. Very complex and hides the alcohol well.

Dec 26, 2008 I really in this instance just want to copy and paste the commercial description in my comments.... And yes, there was an abundance of yeast in the pour, but who cares, this beer is amazing... The subtlest touch of tartness makes this absolutely top notch for me...

Dec 25, 2008 unbelievable aroma...tons of fruit...i get cherries and fig. lots of yeast in this one took away from the appearance but the complex flavors (mostly caramel, fig, and chocolate with subtle hoppiness) are worth the motuhful of yeast.

Dec 23, 2008 Awesome brew with so many flavors present. This is one of those beers that every time you take a drink you get different flavors. Shared this with several friends and as everyone sampled it we all seemed to manage to pull different flavors from the other. Abundant candi sugar present with fruity earthy overtones. So much flavor its hard to describe this is a great beer and a must try. Highest praise...its METAL..

Dec 11, 2008 33cl bottle from Hopduvel depot Ghent. Pours copper brown with a mostly diminishing sticky head and nice lacing.
Nose is spices and toffee. Aromas of coffee, fondant chocolate and alcohol. Medium bodied and medium carbonation. Well balanced. Aftertaste brings some sour bitterness. Creamy almost velvet mouthfeel.
Very good beer.

Dec 10, 2008 Bottle. Hazy, amber coloured, clumps of yeast visible, stable beige head. Sweet raisins, caramel and discreet hops in the nose. Solid sweet flavour, medium to full bodied. Sweet fruity finish with a balancing bitter hoppy aftertaste. A bit too sweet for my liking..........
