Appearance: brown dark color. Medium head. Aroma: Toasted malts, candy and sweet-citric fruitiness like of plums. Flavor: Sweet malted in the beginning that progress in a nice sourness and finish in a low bitterness. Persistence malted, reminiscences of coffee and plums. Your sweetness hidden the degree of alcohol. Palate: Medium body, watery texture. Medium to high carbonation. Advisable, but not shine in your style. (sorry for my english)

Bottle Dark brown, almost black pour with pretty good sized head and a little bit of lacing. Aroma has a bit of spice and nuts. Flavor mainly of malts with a bit of spice in it too. Something kinda off in the flavor. Decent mouthfeel, pretty smooth. Not great, but pretty good. Somewhat bland.

0,33 bottle. Clear dark brown with brownish high head. Looks almost perfect to me. Aroma is spicy and sweet with some nuts - also really nice. Some mess in taste. Palate just ordinary. Flavor does not follow rest features but still good.

Bottle. Dark amber, massive light tan head and a torrent of bubble coming up the center. Beautiful. Cinnamon and spice aroma, a unique smell that a welcome change. Fizzly pallate and unusually light - dissapointing and uncharacteristic. A bitter taste lacking the spice that I initially smelled. Combining the dark colar and fizz, I’m reminded of a cola. A dissapointing summary compared to the excitement I had upon the pour.

Bottle. Big yeasty nose on this gusher. Fruity and malty. Huge beige head on a gradient amber body. Lots of carbonation. A little too violent. Harsh mf. Fruity and alcoholic taste. Medium-light body with a slightly boozy, slightly mouthwashy finish. The worst part? This is basically a slightly darker version of their tripel.

In bottle, 330 ml. Dark and brilliant amber. It has an enormous foam of color beige, very gaseous and effervescent. The carbonation is very chaotic. The aroma is weak, of acid fruits. The flavor, a toasting of malty very villain, acid in end. The body is light, alcoholic and watery. I believe that wastes my money in this bottle. In spite of this bad beer, I have not changed my opinion about the Belgian beers.

Brown amber with a red hew and full fine head. Aroma is sweet nutty malty and of dark fruits and light brown sugar. Good lacings, full body - smooth & creamy. Yeasty feel. Lasting nutty sweet finish! Nice!
