xnoxhatex (791), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 23, 2008 12oz bottle from Belgium. Dark brown with red tint and small beige head. Aroma is a little mollases, darker malt and alc. Sweet brown fruit, with banana, alc, red fruit, okay. Medium, slightly chalky but medium carbonated body. Pretty cloyingly sweet but I can dig on some of the fruit flavors.
