Jan 16, 2007 Bottle courtesy of ford9719. Mahogany/brown with frothy off-white head, fades to film. Fruity yeast esters up front, banana and candied prune. Light spice background, with some more residuel malty sweetness. Flavor on par with aroma, decent banana, dark fruits and candy sugar. Fades to nothing in the finish though. Body/mouthfeel thins out in the finish as well. Really a pretty nice brew but, lack of body/finish really hurts the score though.

Jan 14, 2007 Pours a very dark brown with some really nice ruby highlights around the edges. There’s a one inch head that fades to a thick cap, and leaves behind quite a bit of lacing.
Smell; a little bit os sweet caramel with lots of dark roasted malts and a somewhat bitter coffee aroma.
Taste; just as the aroma implies, nice and malty. There’s some coffee, a light presence of anise, with a little chocolate with hints of caramel, and a just touch of some hop bitterness. I’m more of a hop head, but when I’m in the mood for malts this is a great one. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, and very easy to drink.

Jan 13, 2007 Bottle. Nice brown, light head. A bit nutty, with ashtray undertones. Somewhat light bodied, but not bad for an everyday Belgian-style.

Jan 5, 2007 This is one of my favorites from this brewery since it mimics the Belgian ales. Very well balanced beer. Nice malty and a bit fruity.
