Deep reddish brown with huge, almost white head. Very sweet caramel malt and dried fruit flavor with notes of berries. Peppery sweet aftertaste. Awesome foamy palate. Wayyyy too sweet for me to be a real treat. Well done nevertheless. smith4498 (864), Miami, Florida, USA

Taste is sweet and malty. Creamy mouthfeel and mild carbonation make this real easy to drink. One of my favorite beers from what is becoming one of my favorite Belgian breweries. The more I drink their beers the more I love them. 184601 (144), Mexicali, Mexico

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 1, 2008 Hazy brown pour. Average sized vanilla colored head. Aroma of toffee & banana. Tastes very similar to the smell. Not as carbonated as many in this style. An enjoyable brew that is simple and straight forward. jehoey (766), Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, USA

Sampled at Delirium Café: Poured dark brown with a big head that left tremendous lacing on the glass. Aroma is of dried fruits, and cereal malts. The flavor is confusing because it drinks much more like a golden ale than a brown ale. Lots of pilsner malt flavor, and a nice hop balance, medium-dry. Mouth feel was nice and full of tiny bubbles. Different than other strong brown Belgian ales, but good.

| 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Feb 26, 2008 Pours a dark purplish brown with a foamy beige head. Wonderful aroma of chocolate, raisin, plum, grape, toffee, fig, and spice. Extremely smooth drinking because of the excellent balance of sweetness, spice and chocolate maltiness. One of my favorite beers. mgumby10 (1850), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 25, 2008 Pours a cloudy dark maroon color with a medium light beige head. Pretty good retention. Really enjoyed the nose on this beer, not over the top candy sugar and fruits like some tend to be. Got a bunch of banana, some light molasses, grapes, mild apple, with some sweet candy sugar as well. The flavor was also nice. Definitely on the fruity side as well, with the apple and grapes taking the reins and pulling along the malts and candy sugar. The alcohol was masked proficiently, with a lengthy fruity sweet finish. This is well crafted and very delicious. Quite an enjoyable experience. FastEddie (178), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 25, 2008 By the time I’m rating this, I’m near the bottom of the bottle. What I see is that it is pouring a VERY cloudy dark brown color, with a light brownish head. The aroma is slightly sweet and hoppy, and the head is a light brownish color. The flavor of the ale itself is very sweet, and malty, but balanced, and the alcohol is definitely present. A very good ale.
