Jul 19, 2009 Sugary molasses, bread, and dark fruity aroma. A good dose of earthy yeast to compliment the scent. Medium brown color, good amount of lacing and a creamy, lasting off white head. Easy sipping, velvety with a medium to thin feel. Flavor compliments the aroma, only not as impressive. Still plenty of depth with a fair amount of dark, fermented fruits, brown sugar, fresh breads, and musty yeast.

Jan 2, 2009 75cl bottle. Dark reddish brown, creamy beige head. Very alcoholic, sweet candi sugary aroma with liquorice, aniseed. Quite dull sugary flavor with same herbs, little roastiness and alcohol. Almost medium bodied with smooth carbonation. Nothing special here, average strong ale.

Jul 4, 2003 Deep Ruby hue with a big foamy head. Sweet malty nose, rich fruit...plums, currants mixed with the scent of leaf litter on the forest floor. Earthy and yeasty with spice undertones. Sweetness dominates, almost a stickiness on the lips, rich and warming. Nice mouthfeel. I'm sure I will enjoy this even more when I try it in a cooler climate, not sitting here sweating in the tropics.

Dec 15, 2007 Pours a brownish-amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of raisons, caramel, slight candied sugar, yeast, banana, slight alcochol, and some citrus hops. Flavor is strong of raisons, figs, caramel, and banana up front with a dry finish of banana, yeast, and a little alcohol warming. Truely a delicious beer.

Aug 31, 2002 Okay, this is the first Belgian that I’m rating from a real chalice, rather than my old straight-walled pint glass, so the visuals might be skewed. Not a whole ton of tan head, dark ruby body, malty nose. Thick mouthfeel, much thicker than the flavor - I do have some allergies acting up, which may be affecting my perception, but I didn’t have problems tasting the Chimay Blue I had before this one. Hmmm. Fruity, with a touch of spice. Got better after I had a piece of Chimay cheese.
