Dark, almost black in appreance. Nice rich fruit taste, malty sweet, and very rich. Alot of alcohol in this one, but you don’t take notice when drinking it. So very smooth that you want to save them rather than drink them. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA

I think I smelled it for about 5 minutes before I took my first sip. Ripe sweet fruit and yeasty aroma. Flavor is nice and sweet malts and mild spices. It screams BELGIAN !! The alcohol is not strong in the flavor but you can feel it in the belly. This one will warm you up. beerslayer (753), New Jersey, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 21, 2003 This is a great Belgian ale. Carmel, earthy, and malt flavors. Finishes clean, crisp and smooth. ABV is also well hidden. Recommended.

Peppery, chocolatey and even with some bitterness. I’m impressed. But not by the label, which is stupid! kramer (2465), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 31, 2005 11.2 oz bottle, in Chimay goblet. Pours a beautiful ruby red with a fluffy off white head that settles quickly to a creamy film. Aroma is strong and sweet, with a belgian yeast smell along with alcohol. Notes of apple cider, cinnamon spice, and sweet malt. Flavor is extremely malty, almost caramel like. Belgian spices, very port like in the finish with alot of alcohol warmth, they’re not kidding about the 12%. Very minimal if any hop bitterness. This one coates the mouth thoroughly yet isn’t overly cloying. This is a very big beer with a very vinous complexity to it. As it warmed, alcohol and spices become more predominant. Very good and highly recommended. f351c4v (408), Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, USA

Sweet aroma laced with spices, maybe a hint of chocolate. Taste is sweet, but not cloying, it’s balanced enough to be quite drinkable. Alcohol is hidden for it’s strength. Mouthfeel is not heavy, and a touch sticky. An excellent brew.
