pour deep brown, red when held up to the light, off white head. Smell fruit, nuts and some alcohol. Taste is sweet, caramel and bananas, almost no alcohol. Very good.

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.

bottle. Pours a clear, reddish-brown with a large off-white head. Funky, wet socks smell. Taste was of raisins, apples, caramel and spices. Mouthfeel was smooth with some dryness in the finish. Nice.

Nice heady pour great looking beer, pretty chuestnut brown. Funky sour aroma, green apples with bready vibes. Smoothed out berry and toasted malt qualities, both complex and gentle....nice. Brandyish berryfruits and dusty old library books in both smell and taste. One solid brew.
