| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 5, 2009 Bottle from Trinity Liquors in Spring Hill, FL. Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Nose is candy sugar, dark fruit, caramel, toffee, honey, and a slight yeast presence. Flavor is remarkably similar with a syrupy sweetness that dominates the brew. Lots of sugar and ripe dark fruit. Finished off with a wicked sweetness that lingers. Interestingly Belgian beer. thornecb (1774), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA

Prune and pit fruit aromas. Sweet and tangy upfront with a lasting tart dried fruit finish. eManu (195), Brussels, Belgium
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Had the Kasteel Brown. Very dark brown color, and a light brown foam. I love that beer, I had it quite a few times. But this one is very sweet and has a strong taste of chocolate, but the flavors are strong and always present and plesant. The only problem for me is that the foam does not stay long, but still a very excelent beer. If you like sweet beers you must try this one.
