Jul 22, 2003 Dark and mysterious this beer is. Thick,molasses and alcohol laden nose that is very similiar to Corsendonk Christmas Ale but a tad lighter. This is very carbonated and reminds me of chocolate pudding and english toffee. Yeast is subdued....man, I swear there is a Hershey's Symphony bar somewhere is this. Beautiful belgian ale that is highly underrated on this site.

Jul 11, 2007 Columbia, SC - Green’s Discount Beverages - 750 ml bottle - cellared in the store. Nice dark chestnut pour with a soft, silky khaki head. Warm, enticing liquor-like aroma. Hints of bourbon and brandy - whiff of molasses. Flavor is sweet and full-bodied. Pick up hints of toffee, brandy, molasses, caramel - it’s all good. Rich, luxuriant mouthfeel. Alchohol hidden well. Excellent Belgian - probably passed this one by several times because I thought it and the Grand Cru were the same - glad I investigated!

Jun 20, 2004 This beer pours a murky orange/red with quickly dissipating carbonation. Aroma of caramel, toffee, cinnamon, raisin, apple peel, and toasted marshmallow. The flavor is quite impressive with tangy toffee, raisin, chocolate, and rich caramely bread. Ethanol highlights the finish, playing off the sweet flavors nicely. Not as good as their Grand Cru but still a fine beer.

Jun 11, 2006 From bottle. Pours a reddish brown with fluffy tan head. Nose has hints of dark fruits and a yeasty spiciness. Flavor follows with a smooth body. A very well blended BSA.

Jan 9, 2007 Pours deep mahogany into a trappist glass. Micro head stays steady on the surface. Plum, pear, cabernet and alcohol aromas. Creamy with upfront prune and raisin and a lasting caramel cherry flambe finish.

Aug 21, 2007 33cL bottle from Aarschot. This beer really surpised me. The complex flavor was rich and sweet. Honestly reminded me of a Westy 8 at times but slightly sweeter. It was sweet without seeming overpowerful in sugar acids.

Sep 15, 2007 Chestnut brown with nice head and lacing. A very warm brew, with a presence of burning alcohol. Figgy, coffee, toffee, chocolate malts pervade both taste and aroma. Juicy fruits are also present, berries, plums and raisins. There is a cherry alcohol warmth and a strange, almost coconut like finish. Nice brew.
