A brown beer with a very nice head. It has a nice fruity aroma and a very powerful ale taste with quite a lot of bitterness for a belgian beer. Really an enjoyable beer.

Nut brown. Rather clean, medium bodied. Middle-of-the-road Belgian abbey ale (if there is such a thing...)

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark amber with a nice, full head. Lots of floating sediments that creates small, bubbly geysers when they settle at the bottom of the glass. Typical, dark- malty flavours with a very full body. Fresh rather than sweet with a subdued touch of hops. 251093

Hazy chestnut, thin head (and this in a Maredsous glass). Light fruit & nut nose (raisin, plum); slightly fizzy body. Opens with chewy, toffeeish malt, gaining in fruit throughout. Finish is sweet, but with a hot alcohol shot at the very end. Somewhat thin. Notes of brown sugar, toffee, dates, wood, burnt raisin bread. Lacklustre.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a minimal red rim and a dense tan head. Dried and overripe fruit aroma, light wineous and with a mild malt note. Medium to full bodied. Distinct underlying fruit note in the flavour. Swept is dark malt flavours and a mild yeasty mellow and light spice accent. Has a light tar-ish flavour it. Lingering roasted malt and fruity finish.
