Pours a dark red-orange bordering on brown with a thin quick off white head. Plums, currants, cherries, sweet malt, brown sugar in the aroma. Taste is very fruity malt sweetness. Like an Abbey Dubbel with the plums, currants and cherries dominating again. A lightly cloying sweetness then a finish of slightly floral hops but not bitter enough to balance. markwise (1186), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA
