Amber color with a slight head. Earthy, yeasty candi sugar smell. Rich, full bodied flavors mirror the aroma with spicy yeast, toasted earthy malt with a sugar honey sweetness. Not too bad.

Jul 19, 2008 2k7 bottle. Pours a perfect dark brown with a huge but dissipational head. Aroma is caramel raisin and yeast, taste is similar w/malts and a nicely accentuated bit of hops. Well regarded.

Jul 15, 2008 750 ml bottle. Pours a ruby red, with a pillowy head. The aroma is of pure sweetness and fruits. It has a full mouthfeel, a well balanced flavor profile of fruits, caramel and some spice, and has a clean dry finish. Another quality ale from Ommegang.

Jul 15, 2008 Very nice appearance deep caramel red color nice tan head very good retention. Strong alchohol presence rich fruity tones good caramel and toffee aroma, some hints of chocolate malt in the roastiness. Fruity finish definitely dates, figs maybe some plum did not pick up the anise that others seem to have. Very nice belgian style Ommegang is good at what they do for sure. Making a trip to central NY this fall plan to take a tour. If you like Belgians you’ll appreciate this one.
