Mar 17, 2008 Bottle. Poured deep red brown with a slight off-white head. The aroma developed as the beer warmed up. Initially just malty, a toffee aroma developed and then some notes that were less pleasant (cheesy, barnyard?). Full bodied with ample, but refined, carbonation giving excellent mouthfeel. The flavour is very complex, but predominantly rich and malty. When cold the initial taste has fruity (maybe apples) hints, passing through toffee / trecale and dark malt to some bitterness in the finish. As the beer warms up more flavour is released with chocolate, cherries, plums and spicyness (cloves?). Excellent beer.

Feb 2, 2002 Updated: Apr 29, 2004Red-brown coloured, medium head. Fruity and malty aroma. Flavours of fruits, roasted malts and some port. Fantastic bitter, warming and long-lasting finish. Gets better when warming up. Re-rate: Bottled a few years old. Very nice aroma, but the flavour and especially the finish is not as good as i remember. Bad bottle or doesn't this age very well?

Oct 7, 2003 Rich candied malt aroma, some almond notes too. Clear ruby, pretty beige head. Bitter flavour, woody, nutty as well. Mellow, well balanced, warming. A fine Belgian Strong!

Sep 24, 2002 Beautifull white, lasting head, dark brown coloured. Fruity, sweet smell.
Taste is quite unbelievable; I mean I never tasted a beer like this before. Roasted, malty, hop biterness with some herbs. Nice smooth, dry aftertaste.

Apr 22, 2008 Nice ruby colour with white head. The aroma is a sweet raisin with some complex ethers circling around.
Flavour is juicy with cherry/berry like flavours bursting out that finish with some dark sugars and mild bitterness. Very nice beer.
