Dec 27, 2005 This bottled brew poured a very large sized head of foamy finely sized mostly lasting brown colored bubbles thick fair lacing. The body contained no visible carbonation, was nearly opaque and dark brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of strong vinous malts. Its mouth feel had a mild vinous malty bite in the aftertaste. Its flavor contained mild chocolate vinuous dark malty notes.

Aug 15, 2004 Pours brown with a tan head. Sweet fruity, sugary aroma includes a touch of caramel and alcohol. Complex flavor includes sweet sugary malt, a bit of chocolate, faint alcohol, light fruitiness and spiciness. Finishes lightly dry and slightly yeasty. Outstanding.

Jun 21, 2004 Had at HBF from bottle. Poured burgundy, with a big head. Aroma of malt, fruit, yeast, spice, and peat. Tastes very complex with hints of all the aromas above. Nicely balanced, with well hidden alcohol.

Feb 16, 2007 Aroma: Dark fruits and alcohol. Lovely aroma that jumps out of the glass. Very complex.
Appearance: Brownish with hints of red.
Flavor: Sweetish malt balance, with alcohol evident, but not overbearing, in the finish. A little medicinal, and more straightforward than the aroma.
Palate: Medium body, no astringency or fusel hotness, but a little alcohol warmth.
Overall: Enjoyable, solid beer.

Apr 9, 2005 Excellent Belgian. Dark red appearance, sweet odors, rich tastes of caramel, chocolate, and slight fruitiness. Smooth finish, sure didn’t notice the alcohol. Good stuff.

Dec 18, 2004 Nice murky amber brown with off white head. Cherry malt and chocolate on the nose. Rich mouthfeel with cherry and a sweetness the carryies through to the finish and ends dry. Malt, carmel, chocolate, and fruit show on the palate. Awesome!

Aug 3, 2004 This is an impressive brew. Ample tan head, deep mahogany body, great aroma of yeast, roasted malt, and a hint of alcohol. The flavor is great, my first thought was chocolate, but the flavor is very complex and full; plenty of tastes to entertain the tongue. A well done Belgian.
