Aug 1, 2009 Dark brown color, gushing, too much carbonation, the head is huge initially but without persistance. Maybe also because of the carbonation, the aroma is only light. It has medium body, with excellent chocolate and caramel flavor, rhubarb candies and candi sugar, just some light residual sugars but not sweet. The alcohol is very warming. Very good.

Jul 29, 2009 Bottle. Dark blackish brown beer with a strong light brown head. The aroma is deeply vinous and spiced, and the flavour is very bitter, roasted, malty and spiced to a degree. Overall a good Belgian ale.

Jul 26, 2009 Cloudy dark orange with a huge off-white head. Lots of yeast in the aroma, but cleaner than many Smisje beers - it’s fruity and spicy, with vineous alcohol, a little caramel and some grassy hops. The flavour is sweet and spicy with a lot of pine and grass hop flavour and a firm bitterness - one of the most bitter Belgian beers I have had. The alcohol is warming, and there is a note of chocolate. In the end, the yeast gets a little muddy though - a cleaner bottle fermentation would have made this a world class beer.

Jul 15, 2009 Bottle thanks to the bosses had in the rake. Alround rating: Roasty coffee malts, candy sugar sweetness, loads of yeasty unclean esters. Totally not my style.

Jun 12, 2009 (33cl bottle) Pours a brown body with a thick rocky beige head. Aroma of raisins, dates, CO2, and mustiness. Flavor of alcohol, dark fruit, light Dr. Pepper, candi sugar, and burnt grain. I would probably appreciate more with a little age on this one.
