Jan 23, 2008 Pours a clear ruby color with a thin offwhite head. Aroma of burned caramel and berries. Flavor of burned caramel, berries, mildly roasted and smoked malt and mild bitterness in the end. Interesting.

Dec 14, 2007 In short: Standard toasted, caramelized and slightly fruity Belgian brown ale. On the dry side. Average for the style.
How: Tap at brewpub, about a week after its release
The look: Clear burgundy body with a medium off-white head.
In long: Dry toasted bread with dry caramel and berries jam. Slightly buttery. Some unexpected banana notes, especially on the nose. Medium sweet and medium hopped, the beer is well balanced. A bit resinous in the finish and a little rot/wet dishcloth that bothered me a bit. Fizzy beer, the carbonation could have been more relaxed. Overall pretty dry. A very decent beer but to me this is a disappointment considering Benelux track record with Belgian Ales. Still, the dyslexic customer ordering a Bud should be pleasantly surprised.
