Feb 26, 2009 Bottle split with BillVanE. Man, theres a lot going on here, but nothing really standing out further than anything else. A decent amount of malt and hops in the nose, a hint of smoke in the taste, a little bit of darker fruits and a yeasty finish encompass this great brew. Not sure if its worth the price (not sure of the price) but a great easy drinking treat. Cheers!

Feb 13, 2009 Dark bronze/brown with persistent thick tan head. Sugary, hint of honey or molasses, and lightly chocolate. One of my favorite Belgian beers recently.

Feb 13, 2009 Dark brown body. Light, light brown head, quite lasting actually. The aroma is spicy, fruity and sweet. Maybe a hint of yeast. A buttery finish, and a taste of brown sugar and tar. Mmmm.

Feb 11, 2009 0,33 LITER bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. BB 02/10/09.
App.: Deep reddish brown with a some loose, bubbly tan head.
Aroma: Bright fruitiness, lots of brown sugar and some molasses, very malty with some dark dried fruits as well, sweet but with definite tang, grapes, vinous, a little citrusy and spicy.
Palate: Medium body and soft but full effervescence.
Flav.: Much more fruitiness with definite orange peel and citrus, still a goodly amount of brown and burnt sugars, some minty herbals, some cardboard; off-dry with a bit of brightness and a touch of bitterness.
Might be a bit tired. Still not bad.

Feb 11, 2009 Bottle Trappistenhuis Gent. Pours dark maroon brown with a huge head. Maybe overcarbonated or dirty glasswork but probably the first. Molasses, kandi sugar and burnt sweetness upfront. Flavor sour bitterness and bit metallic mouthfeel.

Feb 7, 2009 31.12.08: Very impressive bottle in tin box, but the taste was more disappointing. I am not a big fan of Belgian beer, that is probably why.

Feb 6, 2009 One of the classics. Dark brown brew with thick, rocky head. Malty and sweet nose, with fruits, caramel, spices. The taste is sweet with the caramel and fruits coming back, including dark berries. Warming with slightly bitter finish. Excellent.
