This used to be a real favourite of mine back in my formative years of belgian beer guzzling so was interested to know if this had stood the test of time. Cloudy dark brown colour with a decent lingering rocky muddy coloured head. Sweetish malty and quite boozy flavour with spice and dark fruit notes. A bit more rough around the edges than I remembered. OK but vaguely disappointing.

I was introduced to this beer over 10 years ago and it’s still a cracker in my mind. The thing I find most enjoyable about it is the harmony the good people at Brasserie d’Achouffe have found with the rich chocolate colour, delicate spice on the nose, caramel malt flavour, velvety mouth feel and creamy finish. Each charicteristic compliments the next and there are no surprises, it’s just the way it should be.

Nov 28, 2008 This is one great beer. A wonderful flavor, not sweet. Creamy for sure. A bit of spice but some good balance between light and heavy. Truly excellent.

Nov 28, 2008 A nice spiced brown ale with some caramel and malt. Good balance, but needs a bit more complexity - perhaps a bit of ageing?

Nov 19, 2008 Bottle shared by hallinghansen. Brown colour with a superb creamy light beige head. Fruity aroma with dark sugar and lots of malt. Creamy body. Great taste of spices, dark candy sugar and yeast.

Nov 18, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Kinda fruity nose. Mouthfeel: once again awesome. Flavor is very nice. Not getting much scotchiness, but the fruity flavors and dry finish make it very nice and yummy.

Very well balanced but I found it lacking in aroma’s.
