Apr 26, 2005 My favorite of the Kapittel beers. I find it is at its best when room temperature--at colder temperatures, metallic and stale notes are present. The flavor is wonderful. Gentle caramel maltiness (less caramel than in the Prior, which gives this the edge) with wood notes and some cinammon. Lush body indicates that this is real Belgian. Not enormously complex, but still one of the finer light Abbey browns.

Jul 2, 2006 Copper with a thick light brown head. Lots of wood notes in the aroma, strong spice, rich malt and some background yeast. That is delicious! This is a beer I would love to have on tap on a regular basis. Warm malt, touch of caramel toffee, thick spice and a gentle palate

Feb 16, 2008 Bottle-pour... color is muddy copper-brown. Aroma is similiar to other Abbey-style brews. Flavor is slightly sugary, malty, with some grassiness. Delicious. A great Abbey-style beer for anytime drinking. Does not require a special occasion.

Feb 19, 2009 Pours a deap dark red brown color with a nice thick tan head with nice lacing. Aroma is of roasted malts, grapes and caramels. The flavors are rich, strong roasted malts with coffee and grapes, sweet and bitter at the same time, a very nice balance of flavors. Good carbonation. A very pleasant beer that will make you want more for sure.

Nov 14, 2004 330ml bottle brought back from Belgium in a Duvel glass. Deep, bright brown. A wonderful aroma of malt, caramel and dried fruit. Flavour is along the same lines, sweet and malty with lots of caramel fruit, mild bitter finish. Last bit (with the sediment in) has a slightly yeasty character to it. Slight stale edge loses this a couple of points. Probably the best thing I’ve had from this brewery yet, reminds me of Gordon’s Scotch.

Aug 23, 2002 Updated: Jul 9, 2003Dark coloured with rapidly disappearing head (perhaps due to the glass). Tastes stronger than it actually is.

Mar 12, 2003 Bottled. Pours hazy burgundy. Aroma of drued fruit. Complex flavour - caramel, raisins and even coffee. Dryish, but sweeter than their Prior, and also lighter in body. Still it's malty, and with a pleasant soft mouthfeel. The finish is bitter and hoppy.
