330ml bottle poured mahogany with a caramel-soda colored head; bubbles were small and fizzy. Malty, caramelly, and sweet. Tasted good but overall character was too much like a soda.

Brewed in Belgium !!! Pours a brown / burgundy color with a smalll foamy off-white head. Super sweet aroma, raisins, brown sugar, caramel, and plums. Taste is of dark fruits, figs, and malts. The mouthfeel is very spitzy at first and becomes sweet with a hint of dryness at the finish. Pretty interesting stuff.... :)

Another Petrus gusher. Pours deep burgundy with a marbled yellowy beige head. Pimples of yeast. Wincing sweet baby sick nose initially, giving way to complex malt-driven aromas of toffee, malt loaf, liquorice, choc coated raisin, walnut, locust bean (??). Powdered milk sweet, very lactic, liquoriced. Edging towards a 7. Mouth sweetish with chocolate, walnut, liquorice, hint of roast, peaty grain. Walnutty oak notes really making their presence felt. Czech black lager/ Schwarz like choc, grain, coniferous background hop. Liquorice, Carib bean waxiness and virtual choc. Unusual, complex, highly suppable dubbel.

On tap at the Sharp Edge Brasserie. Brownish cloudy with a decent head. Has a very attractive sour ale or candy olfactory laced with a floral hint of vinegar. Interesting sweet flavor laced with a rather punchy strongish alky background. Not over the top and very unique I may say. Barely any carbonation, nearly flat. Very intriuging session. Even tho it seems to be a little too strong for me, I cannot stop sipping it. Easily drinkable for this attribute. Finish is a little alky bitter but this is mulled over and coverred by the intracasies of the brew. Not bad, a weirdly interesting sweet beer.

Aroma is malty, bubble gum, slight pepper. Pours a dark ruby brown, thin tan head. Prune, sweetness, burnt fruit. Sweet finish. Palate is thin.
