Pours dark, cloudy brown with a cream-colored head. Aroma is clean, fruity with mild hoppy flavor and smooth malt. Excellent, very drinkable, very tasty...

Pours very dark, cloudy brown with a big, pillowy cream-colored head. The aroma is clean and fruity: banana, berries, mild hops, and smooth malt. The flavor has much the same character as the aroma, but with a yeasty foundation. The hops are a bit more present than other Belgians, and it makes an interesting complement to the rich vinous flavors. Altogether it’s very tasty, and it makes me want some aromatic cheese to eat with it.

Bottle, Cloudy brown color with an excellent lasting head. Aroma of plum and raisins. I believe it has little too much carbonation. Definitely has some dark chocolate mixed in with aroma. Excellent beer all around. Complex in nature and well balanced.

33cl bottle - Heavy strong flavour with a very pleasant herbal aroma with notes of red berries. A definate favorite and in my top 3.

Bottle. Dark brown with a nice head. Not as much flavor as the 10 but still good. Alcohol is a little more present than the 10 even though it has a lower ABV. Good stuff though.

Bottled. Color is hazy brown, huge thick and foamy head with nice lacing. Nose is fruity and licoric. Aroma has fruits, yeast and and alcohol comes through. Flavour is fruity , yeasty, with hops. Nice but 10 is much better.

pours nice dark ruby color. very little head. small amount of cloves in the aroma and flavor. a bit too carbonated for my tastes. not worth the $$$.

Pours blacker than the ace of spades, with a succulent white head that keeps on coming. Aromatically it seems earthy/fruity with a subtle chocolate overtone. The flavor is outstanding. Chocolaty and sweet, the alcohol sorta jumps out at you initially but then just blends back in with the plethora of well crafted flavors. Very nice brew!
