Bottle conditioned. Deep chestnut, poor head and good condition. Fruity banana, yeast, berries and malt in the nose. Quite estery in the mouth, reminiscent of a weizen bock, but more restrained. Alcohol is there but well hidden. Finish is malty sweet with some yeastiness and a faint roasty dryness.

Oct 13, 2008 Pours dark brown with thin, tight head. Aromas of yeast, a brown sugar, with slight caramel evident. Flavor is very sweet but well balanced. Some roast apparent, which surprised me. Dark fruit rounds out the malt character with a slight yeast offering. Flavorful, and well balanced.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours an ugly brown. Dirty looking. Extremely effervescent head which worried me at first. Aroma is a bit chocolaty and fruity. Flavor is of malt and a bit of booze. Nice sweetness and pairs well with chocolate dessert. Very full and silky on the palate.
Very good beer.

Oct 11, 2008 pours a reddish brown with a big white frothy head. Aroma of fruit, malt, and some dry tartness. Flavor is pretty light- nice dark fruit sweetness, but nothing heavy. Nice beer, but nothing earth-shattering.

Oct 10, 2008 This dark brown ale poured in an Achel goblet with a beautifuil fluffy beige head. There is a delicate, but full, roasted malt and fruit flavor with a floral finish, the product of a masterful candy sugar technique. Beats the hell out of Orval.
