Pours dark brown with light brown head. Aromas of dark fruits and dough. Flavor is sweet with raisins, figs, caramel, and licorice. Alcohol is barely noticable giving a slight warming feeling. Medium body with tingly carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Another great brew from Het Anker.

Jul 15, 2008 Blah. This is a typical over the top hot Belgian beer. Probably would be a lot better with a year or two on it. Aroma was huge. Vinuous backbone with sweet caramel malt and alcohol jumping out. Pour was a decent murky brown with no bubbles and a one finger tan head. Taste was too hot and strong. Strong Vicks Vapo-Rub, caramel malt intertwined with hot alcohol and little carbonation.

Jul 14, 2008 This beer rocks. It’s got everything a strong, brown ale should have. The right balance of flavor, alcohol, sweetness and body that makes a Belgian strong ale totally drinkable.

Jul 11, 2008 750ml 2007 bottle, best before March 28, 2017. Pours murky dark brown with virtually no head in a Trappist glass. Lacing is sparse, but clingy. The aroma is sweet and fruity, very well balanced, and quite strong. Notes of berries, coriander, grape are all apparent. It’s quite juicy and devoid of any alcohol burn in the nose. Mouthfeel is lively and prickly with a sticky fig sweetness highlighted by spiced notes. Some earth, grape, graham crackers, berries, and a little heat are found in the complex flavor. I really enjoy the way this one comes together.
