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.

This is a really nice ale with rich flavors. Another success from the gang at Ommegang. I saw that the price of this almost doubled recently. Too bad because at its previous price I would buy this a lot.

750ml bottle, great carbonation, not getting much on the aroma. Kicks in sweet but doesn’t stay that way (which is good). Almost a mead-like initial taste, but finishes dry with a nice burn (carbonation or alcohol?). Would buy again.

Pours a murky, unfiltered, layered black cherry burgundy. Yellowish-off-white head with nice lacing and a gentle carbonation stemming from the center of my consendonk tulip. Nose is full with dark fruits- especially cherries, belgian yeast, and candied and brown sugars. Flavor begins sweet and fruity with more cherries and a little raisin, prune, and plum. Finishes more earthy and clean with a smooth cocoa bitterness and a bit of (pleasant) cough syrup.

750 ml. bottle. Pours a dark copper to brown with a substantial frothy almond colored head. Big fruit in the aroma--cherries, plums, currants, raisin, with maybe some peach and apricot. Toffee malt underneath, with some wafts of yeast. Rich toffee malt flavor with raisinettes and some licorice throughout, with some dried fruit notes and yeast. Warming finish with a touch of chocolate. Solid signature/flagship beer from the Cooperstown Moortgats.

nice deep chestnut body with a tan head, cloudy. Malty aroma with some spice present. Rich malth flavor with raisons, dates and plum flavors. Medium mouth feel. Semi sweet chocolate finish. Very complex

Really good beer. Thick head on the pour, leaves a thick lace but its still opaque. Smells sweet and citrus fruity. Taste is almost of caramel and orange. Crisp mouth feel. Smooth finish. Its worth a try even at 5 bucks a beer.
