Dec 28, 2008 [33cl bottle, mille grazie Ivo] Clear, ruby amber colour with a big and beige foamy head. Sweet toast-malty and slightly nutty aroma with toffee, vanilla and a slightly vinous fruity touch of raisins. Sweet flavour with a light burnt bitterness, full bodied with a very creamy and pleasant mouthfeel. Aromatic, delicately toasty malt profile with notes of caramel, dark berries and raisins. Strong malty and subtle fruity finish with a pleasant, Armagnac-like finish. A very balanced and complex brew [19.XII.08].

Dec 23, 2008 Bottle. Sweet malty and fruity aroma. Hazy dark reddish brown body, creamy beige head. Flavor is ripe fruit sweet, with plenty of caramel and malt evident, and a bit of intrusive alcohol. Sweet finish. Tasty, but not superlative. Disappointing on the whole.

Dec 18, 2008 Bottle: Poured a dark color beer with a thick foamy brown head with excellent retention. Aroma of figs with sweet alcohol notes and typical Belgian yeast is easily identifiable and greatly enjoyable. Taste is quite rich with figs and plum sweetness with a thick body and warm alcohol note mix with lots of yeast.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark copper color with an extremely large, brownish head. Hints of hops with main aromas of brown sugar, molasses, and some raisins. Lively carbonation with an oily texture. Acid aftertaste is a bit strange but overall not a bad beer.

Poured a dark chestnut brown with a small tan head which dissipated quickly. Candied sugar, roasted malts, and slight alcohol notes on the nose. Tasted of raisins and figs, dark fruits, hint of bitter chocolate. Sweet at first and moving to bitter towards the end of the sip. Medium on the palate and fizzy. Delicious beer!
