Dec 8, 2004 This beer (as of now) has been rated 99 times, and is in the 99th percentile. Maybe being the 100th rater can get it into the 100th percentile? Unfortunately, not.
Here is the 411 (my 411th rating) - Too much alcohol all the way. Underneath the huge alcohol fog is a wonderfully fruity and spicy mix of hop and malt. The woodiness reminds me of Brasserie Des Rocs brune. There is a sweetness in the taste and a dryness in the finish - that is nicely done. Objectively a great beer, but a little off my prefence.

Dec 5, 2004 bottled. purple-brown colour with a large lasting head. aroma of mahogany, leather, mango and coriander with some generic belgian yeast character. quite a sweet candi presence and plenty of evidence of alcohol which forces some of the more interesting spicy and tart flavours into the background. i’d like to try an aged version of this some time
