Commercial Description:
Deep burgundy color with a big, fluffy head. Complex fruit aromas with a layered sweetness (honey, then caramel, then toffee) with a hint of licorice and chocolate. A big, rich, abbey-style ale that dries out nicely on the finish.

Awesome brew. Dark, lots of flavors throughout the drink. I split one bottle with a friend (cause I didn’t think he’d handle it not being bud or miller) and we ended up finishing all four. I’m going to try more belgians.

Bottle. Pours cloudy brown with some red highlights. Thick foamy head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavor is fruity with some spice, licorice, caramel, even some chocolate as it warms. Medium bodied and smooth.

750 ml bottle. Poured a cloudy ruby-brown with a fluffy off-white head. Aroma was medium bodied and had a nice fruity/floral/yeast blend. Taste was distinct--a burnt prune juice flavor. Slightly flat and not as complex as I would have preferred. The finish is smooth and warm but slightly disappointing--there is simply not enough complexity to enjoy the finish much. Giid but nothing spectacular.

Mahogany with thick tan head, lacing the glass all the way till the end. Aroma is slightly toasty/nutty with some fruit. Taste is sweet up-front with light roasted notes and finishes quite dry.
