Pours a muddy orangish brown with a tan head, large number of solids in this bottle. I found this with the Brune as well. Aroma of dark fruit, tart cherries, spice, spice belgian yeast, and sweet malt. Taste is predominantly tart and sweet, with some mild spice and belgian yeast coming in as well. Body is well carbonated and medium bodied. Overall, a solid belgian ale.

Dec 30, 2009 Bottle, poured a dark red/auburn/amber with a big, fluffy, khaki head. Aroma of dark fruit, caramel, yeast, must, cocoa and sweet fruit. Flavor had a very mineral quality, that did fade, but at first was not to nice. Fruit and caramel slowly emerge. Some alcohol and chocolate as well. Didn’t live up to expectations.

Dec 22, 2009 This scores a 100? My one word was YUCK. I couldn’t drink it. Other tasters included as the Wizard DrBayern, Celticbrew as the Cowardly Lion, Brian the Beer Pimp as the Tin Man, Uncle Tom as the Scarecrow, and the newbies Lawyer Bob and The Boy Wonder Chris as the Munchkins. That leaves me as the Wicked Witch!
It poured a dark brown, cloudy. The lacy head started to disipate. Aroma was nominal. And the taste ended this little experiment. I usually like Brown Ales.

Dec 22, 2009 Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Pours a nice dark reddish amber color. Aromas of fruit, and some other hints, maybe some spices, maybe caramel. Flavor is a bittersweet, malty, and a hint of hops with a nice bittersweet finish.

Dec 13, 2009 Bottled. Pours cloudy, with an unusual amount of yeast floaters. The aromas are of apple, raisin dough. The taste are of sour apple and cherry. It’s almost chunky with the yeasts which seem to stay in suspension, and adds a lot of sour flavor. It has a long sour finish. I had high hopes after reading some other reviews, but don’t feel it lives up to its potential.

Dec 11, 2009 Pours a muddy apple cider brown with yeast floaties. I tried hard to avoid the floaties but it wouldn’t allow a clean pour.
Nose is tepid. Where is the damn nose? Some estery yeasty notes and faint typical abbey components are there.
On the palate it is very estery/yeasty, reminiscent of German hefe-weizens that are estery/yeasty. Palate has an interesting creme malt profile with some fresh paint flavours in there too. Interesting.
Finish is cloyingly sweet. Hmmm.

Dec 5, 2009 Excellent beer to enjoy with a fine meal, or in front of a fire. Pours dark with a beige head; taste is sweet, but not cloying; and rich. Aroma is enough to spend a night analyzing during lulls in conversation. It’s full of caramel, candi sugar, and dark fruits; great for dessert. Fantastic.
