Nice ruby brown with thick off white head. Malty sweet nose with cherry notes to it. Rich in the mouth with a sweetness that lingers on for a long time. Sweet cherry, brown sugar, toffee and carmel all mingle in the mouth. Very nice beer. A8c5t8p5o7

Orange-bronz color with light colored head. Sweet fruity aroma’s and outspoken hints of ripe stone fruits like apricot and peaches. Pesent yeasty accent, some flowers and hints of cakes. The taste is round, warm, fruit-tart like with a fait sourish accent int the finish. This beer is ending with a flowery bitterness and some alcohol sweertness.

Thnaks to thebeercelar2. Poured a hazy dark gold with a thin off white head. Aroma of brown sugar and peaches. Flavor was sweet and fruity (tart fruit) with alcohol in the middle and finish. Nice warming sensation.

Pours a hazy orange copper with a thin lightly-lacing off-white head. Aroma is lightly tart, bready and yeasty with a touch of caramel and alcohol. Starts with a bittersweet citric tartness and a nice, full, malty bready body. Finishes dry and lightly warming. A decent Belgian strong. Thanks to TheBeerCellar2 for sharing.

Pours a murky ruddy brown with some shimmer. The aroma is of sherry and raisin. Some hops are noticeable throughout, and add a floral aspect. The flavor is of a trappist dubbel (some sweet, some sour), with a little more power. The alchohol makes its way through, but dissapears in a short finish. Not a technically great beer, but a tasty one.

Turbinado sugar and toasted malts with good dark fruits and brandyish finish. Lquorice and hops are both very mild but noticeable, good balanced big brune of above average quality for this brewery.

Reddish brown beer with a glow. The aroma is lightly fermented and the flavour is fruity, fermented and very strong. Overall a nice beer.

Clear, rudy brown, weak head. Sweet and solvent-like aroma. Sugar and alcohol on the palate. Rather neutral and a bit rubbery flavour, not so bad, but not very good either.
