Commercial Description:
This beer looks like it means business right from the start. It is dark red brown with a good fluffy head and has a rich spicy malt nose with a few bitter orange notes. The palate has a big hoppy bite and a rich, fruity, dark coffee character, which tries to become roasted in the finish.

This pours a reddish-brown with a tall, tightly beaded head that visits only briefly. The aroma has strong licorice scents over a toffee body with brown sugar. This is very soft in the mouth. It tastes of caramel and toffee along with licorice and dates. The finish is anise and other spices. Not bad at all.

Cocoa and toffee initial notes. Nice dried dark fruits and cara malts. Good spice and zest nose. Mild liquorice and honey notes at mid palate with a caramel and toffee finish.

Bottle... Lightly hazy, ruby ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Thick, creamy lacing with fabulous retention. Brown sugar, dark fruit and a touch of mint in the aroma. The flavor is nicely balanced by surprisingly adequate hopping... for a Belgian. Dried plum, milk chocolate, cinnamon, brown sugar and toffee. Medium to full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, lightly bitter, bone-dry finish.

750 ml bottle. Cloudy brown with a decent head and nice lacing throughout. Aroma of orange zest, coffee and some cinnamon. Taste is star anise and beardy with caramel and grains. Medium bodied and a bit on the sweet side.

(750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy brown body with a large creamy beige head. Aroma of caramel, leather, cheese, and mustiness. Dry, carbonated palate. Flavor of raisins, malt, and spices.

Pours a dark brown with a light brown head, good retention as well. Quite a nice nose on this one with notes of plum, rasin, cinnamon, belgain yeast, malt. The flavour was full malt, yeast, rasins spices, and a bit of biteering hops at the end.It really developed as it warmed. I’ll be adding more to my colection.

Bottled. A dark brown beer with a fairly nice off white head. The aroma is quite sweet with some fruity chocolate notes and a bit of woodiness. The taste is also quite sweet and again chocolate comes through. Perhaps a bit on the thin side but the alcohol is noticeable. A nice beer.
