Feb 15, 2008 The beer pours reddish amber with a lasting off-white head. In the nose it is dominated by bread and caramel with hints of sugar, and a mild spice(cinnamon?) in the background. Upon tasting it starts bready with a big stroke of caramel, moderate sweetness, medium mouthfeel and a lively but not overwhelming carbonation. After the swallow, the caramel is joined by a licorice element, lingering in the back of the mouth. A very well balanced beer and with a nice vibrant finish.

Feb 9, 2008 The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very fine foam. The beer tastes really strong, modest dry, not bitter, a little bit sweet. Very drinkable for its strength. Really good beer.

Feb 3, 2008 33cL bottle. This is my favorite of the Grimbergen family. Deep amber color with a good mouthfeel and warming, slightly sweet flavor. Fair lacing and nice head that disappeared fairly quickly.

Jan 31, 2008 33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy amber with a light off-white head. Mild fruity, light spiced and caramel aroma. Flavour holds a light fruity note to a malty base, towards dark. Lingering fruity and yeasty finish.

Jan 27, 2008 Appearance: cooper color. Great head, beige, some rocky and lasting.
Aroma: caramel malts and yeast’s smells. Toffee, vanilla, butter, cream and truffle’s aromatic reminiscences. Liquory smells similar to old run.
Flavor: caramel and semi-toast malts start and progress of yeast. Fruitiness like orange and peaches in liquor. Taste reminiscences of vanilla and some clove. Warming final with liquory like old run.
Palate: medium body and carbonation.
Nice, but I waited more complexity.

Jan 1, 2008 Nice but qickly disappearing head - color reddish brown. The first impression is sweet/sour, and the a grapefruit acidity attacks my tongue and almost invades it. Just like in Grimbergen Blonde it subdues everything else, and I only get weak hints of malt. The acidity is too dominating IMO.
