2006 750ml bottle. Aroma of aged dark malt laced in thick alcohol. Mellow carbonation. Thick, rich raisin malt taste. Sweet and thick, quite true to style. Deep dark fruit tastes. An excellent sipper.

Bottle. Pours slight hazy brown coloured with a creamy light brown head. Aromas of dried fruit, caramel, molasses sugar and licorice. Very sweet and warming flavour with notes of raisins, sugar, caramel and a little vanilla. Overall too sweet and too sticky.

Bottle@ Track 84, Warwick, RI. Pretty sweet and caramelly. Very nice, but miles away from the best Belgian versions of this style. Some caramel, banana esters, toffee, alcohol, and some brandy notes. Actually a bit cloying towards the end

Hazy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of bready malt, prunes, licorice and brown sugar. Really sweet flavoour, sugar and caramel notes, with a toouch of prunes. The sweetness is soon very cloying.

2003 courtesy of HogTownHarry. Cork slid off easily with little pop. Sweet malty alcohol aroma. Dark brown with no head. Sweet yet dry, smooth, carbonated, dark fruity cherry, blueberry raisin malt. First taste is cherry, ends with blueberry raisin taste. Surprisingly dry raisin aftertaste.

From the 750ml bottle it pours a dark brown color with an amber hue topped by a small, bubble beige colored head. Some lines of lacing mark the glass. The aroma shows sweet caramel, raisins, figs, and molasses. The flavor follows suit with the sweet caramel and raisins dominating. Figs, vanilla, and brown sugar add more sweetness to the profile. Not much in the way of hops. Medium full bodied and a syrupy mouthfeel with a warm, sweet finish from the alcohol. A nice beer, but a bit too sweet for my liking.

75 cl. Bottle. Thanks to Maxxdaddy. Pours a cloudy amber with a fluffy white head and lacings. Fruity, vinous and strong. Warmth from alcohol. Lots of toffee, fruit and caramel. Smooth and sticky. Overall heavy and quite nice.

Bottle: Color is a stunning blend of amber and chestnut with a finger of creamy beige head. Rich aroma is sweet with caramel, dark fruits, toffee, and light yeast. The taste is lively with fruitiness and Belgian spices. Candied sugar, caramel, and toffee. A light floral presence and bready malts. This really is an interesting cross section of flavors. So much going on, yet well balanced and the warming feel sneaks up on you. Thanks to Sloth for sending this fun brew.
