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.

750 ml bottle, corked and caged. Deep rich brown with ruby and copper tints. Very malty and fruity aroma. Toffee, caramel, biscuit malt, plummy fruit, light toastiness, some honey. There is also some nice dark cherry aromas in here. Some heavy sweaty spiciness, a little bit of dustiness with some lingering malt sweetness. Toasty finish with a bit of light molasses and licorice. Great complexity and well balanced.

Bottle, 75cl corked. (RBNAG 07) Pours a hazy, orange-brown body, with a dense, beige head. Sweetish, roasted, slightly oxidized aroma and flavor. A bit too oxidized flavor I think. Full-bodied, slightly sourish in the mouth, and quite sticky. A nice beer, but considering it being quite fresh, it shouldn’t taste as oxidized as a twenty year old beer. (071103)

Dark amber hue with a foaming brown head. Huge nose of plums. Nicely carbonated with a slikly aftertaste. Flavors of dark fruit, with tones of oak and pecans underneath, and finally a bit of alcohol in the finish. Palate is left tingling, very excited.

Nat a bad drink, but I truly thought it was a dubbel until I sat down to rate it. Cloudy brown with a creamy tan head, it smelled of caramel, brown sugar, and was lightly spiced. The flavor of this medium-bodied ale is toffee & caramel with white peppers and a suggestion of chocolate, all followed up by a surge of alcohol in the spicy finish. Not a complex strong ale, but a good one.

Vanilla, dark chocolate, prunes, orange peel, and anise with a dry warming finish. It’s in there.

Bottle@Home. Malty aroma with prune, toffee and figs. Chestnut brown, beige head, good lace. Very sweet, fruity, nutty, prune, soft bitterness. Full, sparkling, more alcoholic than expected. Quite flavourful, nice complexity.

Hoppy malt smell. Sweet, semi-bitter taste with a yeast aftertaste. Drinks like a belgian beer, but made in New York! Yummy.

Bottle. Cloudy reddish color with a huge frothy off-white head that diminished very slowly leaving good lacing. Good complex fruit and wine aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Good fruity flavor with a sweet finish that had a moderate duration with no alcohol bite. Very good brew for number 700.
