Jul 31, 2008 This Belgian Strong Ale pours a slightly cloudy medium amber color from a 33cl bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is sweet malts, over-ripe dark fruit and some spices. A medium bodied BSA. The malts are caramel, dark fruits and fairly sweet. The hops are earthy. A touch spicy, grain of paradise and coriander, but mostly sweet malts and fruit. Nice carbonation. Hides the 11% alcohol very well. Would make a nice beer to sip on a cool winter evening. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

May 10, 2008 Fruitcake maltiness and fresh apple pie spices thoughout, with some citrus acidity, and a big enough malt background to hold it all together, and still remain balanced, and cover up the high ABV. Impressive little beer for the holidays.

May 7, 2008 Hazy, red-brown with a huge, creamy and lasting head. the aroma has sweetness, light roasted malt, spice and light citrus. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of citrus, spicy yeast, roasted malt and the finish has a citrussy bitterness. It’s quite charming, and you do not feel the 11% in the flavour.
