Pours a mahogany brown sugar colour with a creamy head that dies to nothing. You get a mild sweetnes in the nose along with dark fruit and fig and sense of sourness from the Belgian yeast. Very balanced in that you get the sour yeast, you get the sweet malt and you get the fruit but its all subtle and blends nicely. Medium in the mouth and very drinkable

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with an extremely large, brownish head. Aromas of chocolate, raisins, port, and molasses. Very lively palate with a thin, oily texture. Long aftertaste that is smooth. Wonderful beer.

Oct 26, 2008 Una dubbel decisamente ’carica’ con una splendida dolcezza e sentori balsamici al naso, un corpo un po’ troppo leggero (e frizzantezza inadeguatamente elevata) ma sapore pieno e avvolgente, con note di uvetta e cannella.

Oct 25, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy brown with a large off-white head that faded to a film by mid-glass and left partial lace. Pleasant aroma of yeast, brown sugar, and a bit of spice. The flavor is caramel, yeast, brown sugar and some spice. Mild bitterness at the finish and a bit dry towards the finish as well. I had read the description on the bottle before opening this beer and was expecting ’’rich malt with notes of port, raisins, and black chocolate,’’ none of which I experienced. Still, a solid beer.

Oct 20, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Wow, superior to St. Bernardus Pater 6 even. Beautiful bouquet, sweet dark fruits galore. Another awesome, bubbly, tickling the tongue mouthfeel. Only problem: finishes a little too dry. Very nice.
