Jun 11, 2009 "Deep red body with hints of brown a massive brown cap with great retention sits on top and leaves behind lots of sticky roapy lacing. Sour yeast some spice in the nose brown sugar can be noticed on deep inhales the smell is incredible. Flavor is sweet and dark with hints of liquorish and brown sugar with coffee in the finish. This is a fully carbonated big belching beer. Apple and wood with a pine quality come out when warmer. This is very authentically Belgium tasting with its own unique flavor a other winner from North Coast."

Jun 9, 2009 Bottled. Dark brown, the head looks like a bath sponge! Almost yellow. The aroma is full, with plums and raisins, even a light syrupy flavour. The taste is also full, but not as balanced as I expected. It’s a bit sharp, with the alcohol cutting through - opposite to most of its Belgian counterparts. Also, the sweet syrup in the taste lacks the character you’d expect in a beer this strong.

Jun 8, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a deep amber brwon with a very rich thick persistant head. Smells of dark fermented fruit and syrupy malt. Tastes very fruity, like raisins, prunes, and fermented berries. Tons of flavor that stay in the mouth. Very sticky and some presence of alcohol. Burnt caramel in the aftertaste. Very good beer.

May 28, 2009 Typical sweet Belgian aroma. Flavor has a surprising burnt coffee note that doesn’t show up in the aroma. Lacing is lovely, color is dark and hazy. Mouthfeel seems strangely thin for the taste/style. As it warms, the alcohol becomes very strongly noticeable.
