Jan 7, 2007 [Bottle, January 2007] Dark brown frothy brew. Woody/Oaty aroma. The taste has traces of raisins - can’t detect much of a chocolatey taste as advertised. Slightly bitter but not overbearing. Very nice and surprisingly ’light’ mouthfeel - a ’wet’ tasting beer. Good, crisp aftertaste. Great beer to have with a meal.

Jan 6, 2007 [bottle from Gallerie Pivni, March 2006]
Excelent aroma of woody sourness and prominent noble hops in balance with a sweet raisiny dark malt. Pours a cloudy brown with a large top of large bubbles that recedes to a thick, lasting cover that is replenished by this beers effervescence. Orval-like flavour with less bitterness and less dry. Woody, sour, dried apricots, tobacco, candi sugar. Subtle bitterness thta may not be enough for the residual sweetness and body. Highly carbonated and not as warming as expected. Medium to full body.

Jan 2, 2007 Dark brown with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is effervescently fruity spicy. Taste is somewhat drier than I expected from the aroma, but it’s not bad.

Dec 28, 2006 12 oz. bottle. Poured into a Leffe abbey stem glass. Aromas of plums and chocolates. This tastes a little more sour than sweet. Has a raisin like fruity flavor. Mouthfeel is lighter than expected. Airy carbonation and powdered hot cocoa mix with a smokey risidue. Comes across to me as a "poor man’s" Dubbel compared to their outstanding Tripel. Certainley drinkable but hardly meet my expectations.
