This is a nice, full-bodied beer. Good aroma and a nice head. Flavor is that of dark fruits with a hoppy kick.

Sep 6, 2008 Nice yeasty notes: hints of plum and dried cherries, nutty and creamy mouth feel, little toasty malt and a smooth finish. Like most good craft Belgian style ales, the alcohol is well hidden, very tasty, although missing the deep complexities of some others in this style range.

Sep 6, 2008 One of the few belgian styles not from Belgium that I enjoy. Lots of head and a complex spice and fruit aroma. Dark fruits on the taste.

Sep 6, 2008 Amber in color with a good sized light brown head with very good lacing. The aroma is dominated by dark fruits with a hint of molasses and a strong hops backbone. The flavor is of dark fruits with a little raisin, molasses, oak, and a hint of apples. The texture is creamy. Overall its a very good abbey ale with a very complex and relaxed flavor; very enjoyable

Sep 6, 2008 Pours with a light brown head that is mostly lasting over an amber hue.
Aroma is of dark fruits - dates, prunes, some grape, and plums and little of hops. Aroma also has some sweetness to it - a little molasses.
Dark fruit flavor with some oak, apples. It is a little bit bitter on the finish, not so much though. Sweet beginning.
Creamy to the palate with lively carbonation. a very good beer.

Sep 4, 2008 this is one the beer closest to a belgian from us of a that I’ve ever encountered. Bravo! Big foamy frothy textured head and plenty of lace. Soft texture, slightly perfumey. Clear dark rich amber with red highlights. Not too sweet. Great balance. Almost a session considering what it is.
