A very solid offering. The cherries are very subtle, and complement the nice caramel malt and fizziness. Not too sweet either.

Dec 14, 2009 A dark almost plum colored body. Aroma is rather sweet, strongly resembling dark fruits such as prunes and dates, with notes of cherry. In the background are some toasty notes. Body is nice and thick with qucikly fading carbonation. Flavor is rather toasty with a noticeable liquorish character. The mouth feel is nice and full with a finish that tapers off slowly, leaving the slightly stick flavor behind. A great beer from Ommmegang.

Dec 14, 2009 Picked this up as part of a three beer gift pack during the 2009 holidays. Some fruit notes upon initial pour but is dominated with nutty aromas, very roasty even woody, with hints of caramel ... reminds me of a dessert wine. Clear amber red pour with a hazy off white head that laces the glass. Medium sweetness, with hints of alcohol. Solid body with a creamy texture, average carbonation with a long finish. This is a great beer to warm you up in the winter months.

Dec 14, 2009 clear dark red, thick smooth soft light brown head. Looks great.
very very nice aroma of dark fruits, caramel, faint perfumy berries. very low bitterness and a strong aroma.marcipan or almonds, apricot. interesting and definetly nice.
flavor is pleasantly tofee and caramel bitter, faint boozy,faint berries sweetness which balances the brew greatly. something about the bitterness i don’t quite like, but overall very intersting and smooth flavor profile. extremely well done twist on a belgian style. the 2% blend works perfectly.

Dec 13, 2009 This is great stuff. Poured from a 750ml corked bottle: dark clear amber with a light tightly lace head. Did not stir up the sediment from the bottom. Aroma is light with caramel, banana and hops. Taste is complex with malt, hops, toast and some citrus and yeast. An expensive beer but well worth it.

Dec 11, 2009 Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Dark copper with very little head and smells of spice. The taste is dark fruit, candy sugar, and fairly strong alcohol flavor.
