Pours dark brown with a decent off-white head. Sweet fruity aroma. Malty flavor, chocolate and some bready notes. Warm finish.

Pours a dark reddish brown with a thick tan head. Aroma is strong with dark fruits, raisins really stand out along with sweet malts. It also has a sweet-sugar aroma. I detected hints of banana and fig. The flavor is the same as the aroma with a dry finish. This is not a bad beer, but it is far from a favorite.

330ml bottle at the Belgian Beer Cafe in Sydney. Pours a copper-brown ale with a good sized off white head and nice lacing. Aroma is dark fruits and toasty sugary malt. Smooth palate with dark fruity flavours and a subtle liquorice-sweet aftertaste. Very drinkable given the ABV. Nice.

Bottle: Pours a rusty amber with a hick spritzy tan head. Sweet Belgian malts dominate the aroma giving off dried fruits of fig, and a brown sugar sweetness. The body is very gassy, with a dark fruit flavor. Notes of fig, prune, raisin- with later malt flavors of toasted brown suagr. A standard Belgian Dark Ale- not standout.
