It’s not readily availible in my area, so it might be the last. BUt it was very smoth with a nice dark caramel color - a very good belgian style beer SpringsLicker (2041), Tennessee, USA Nov 19, 2005 Starts out looking proper for a Strong Belgian Ale. Deep, clear, ruby color with a small, somewhat fleeting Mocha colored head.
Dates, raisins and brown sugar int he aroma.
Dark fruit and caramel follow int he flavor. Full and satisfying palate make this an enjoyable Belgian style brew. beerbill (1918), Laurel, New York, USA Nov 15, 2005 Bottle. Pours a deep mahogany with a thick, creamy tan head. Lots of plums and spices in the aroma. The flavor does not disappoint. Plums and bananas combined with cloves and caramel. The alcohol is definitely present but not overpowering. Really terrific, I just wish I bought more than one last June. BeerandBlues2 (3201), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Nov 9, 2005 Pours a dark molasses brown with mahagony hints and a medium diminishing frothy tan head which becomes a rocky film with lined lacing. Heavy malt (hay) wheat and yeast aroma, moderately roasted caramel nutty malt with cellared (cobwebs) notes. Medium bitter acidic hop and moderately roasted nutty malt and alcohol flavor with a hoppy finish. Medium and thick bodied fizzy and slightly dry palate. beerbuzzmontreal (2909), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 1, 2005 Pours a reddish brown color with a thin light brown head.
