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.

Bottle. Poured into a large snifter. Fruit arouma and a beautiful reddish brown body with a dark tan head. Very complex flavors. The carmel malts seem to dominate and like others have said its a bit to sweet. A little more hop would be good. Not quite in leaque with Rochfort , but not far off either.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color with a nice amount of head. The aroma was sweet caramel malts with a tiny bit of spice. The flavor was smooth and malty with just a bit of bitterness and tartness. Overall, this was an excellent beer from on of my favorite breweries.

Great beer. Tastes much like the Chimay’s, but substantially less expensive. Good color, aroma, head and finish. I really like this beer....it also packs a pretty good punch!

I have enjoyed this beer a few times in the past. Sweetness is nice and not overpowering. It pours a dark amber color with a nice head. This beer would be perfect after visiting the Hall of Fame!

Ruddy brown and almost opaque with compact beige head. Malty complex aroma with notes of raspberry. Malt dominates with dark fruit and berry, along with bit of pepper in finish.

Pours Ruby with a thick tan head with tight compacted bubbles. Fruit aroma with a thick rich complex taste of raisins and ripe plum. The alcohol radiates after each sip. Excellent lacing on the glass. Nice filling finish.
