Rumor has it that you can no longer find the Grimbergens in Florida...however if you can fins some (& don’t mind the high price for it), you will be greatly rewarded. My recommendation is to pour it into a room-temperature glass. Truly the finest beer to taste BETTER as it grows warmer in the glass!

Smells a little fruity and off, but looks nice. I think this may have strawberry or raspberry hints, but this is truly one of my favorite doubles - top notch.

The taste is just the right bits of unsweetened chocolate and fine brandy, with a side of roasted barley to keep you sipping. A damn fine brew my lads.

Now this...is beer. Pours a beautiful deep copper color with a generous off white head. Lots of roasted malts with hints of chocolate on the nose. Wonderful, roasted chocolate with a bit of a fruity character to it in the aftertaste. This was a great great beer, highly reccomended.
