Commercial Description:

750ml bottle. Pours a ruby color with a huge white head and an enormous amount of yeast floaties. Aroma is unique. Yeasty, spicy, anise? Something kind of stout like. Roasty? I don’t know. Smooth, fruity taste with a bite. Yeasty, belgiany. This is good. I think I prefer the Brune though.

750 ml bottle courtesy Lou18. Gushing foam from the bottle upon opening. Murky orange amber colour with lots of floating protein chunks. Mostly lasting frothy tan head. Toffee, brown sugar, orange, raisin, doughy, yeasty, plummy, and caramel aroma with light alcohol notes. Raisin, caramel, plum, toffee, orange, doughy, and yeasty flavours with a lightly dry nutty, salty, and yeasty bitter finish. Full bodied, rich, lightly sticky and warming mouthfeel that hides the alcohol very well. Very drinkable for the abv. Not quite as good as the Brune, but still delicious.

Bottled. Hazy reddish brown with a sticky tan-coloured foam. Sweet and flowery aroma of nuts, caramel, Seville oranges and dense yeast in the deep aroma. Full, malty and flowery flavour of yeast, caramel, heather, light chocolate, leaves and sweet oranges. Long sweet and a bit sticky finish of caramel, light chocolate, honey and flowers. Tasty stuff!

750 ml bottle. Poured a clear reddish/amber with probably the most amazing head I have ever seen. The retention on the head of this beer is absolutely amazing. Aroma is very sweet with notes of fruit, brown sugar, yeast and earth notes. Palate is very smooth and hides the 9.5% completely. Flavor is of sweetness where one would expect spiciness from a Belgian, dark fruit, sugar, molases, caramel...very complex yet highly drinkable. Outstanding beer.
