May 11, 2009 Updated: May 12, 2009Copper pour, big off-white head shows moderate persistence.
Aroma is very complex if you search for it, with cherries, vanilla, chocolate, spicy cloves, dark malts, wheat, yeast, light alcohol, and candi sugar sweetness. Very appetising.
Flavour doesn’t impress quite as much, with sweet toasty malts, belgian yeast, spicy phenols and some very slight alcohol.
Very high carbonation adds to a nice creamy mouthfeel. Some pleasant alcoholic heat on the palate.

May 7, 2009 Ive had this many times over the years but never taken the time to rate it so here it goes. rich mahogany color, off-white head. Spicy yeasty, fruity esters, banana in the aroma. Nice dark fruit flavor swirl around in this one. raisins, dates, overripe banana. pinch of yeast. An old classic

May 5, 2009 Aroma of yeast, malt and dark fruit. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a frothy one-finger khaki head. Flavor is lots of dark fruit, prunes, raisins, sweet malt, yeast, and some alcohol that is more noticeable in the finish. Finish is also somewhat bitter.

May 5, 2009 Pours a deep opaque mahogany color with an airy light-tan head that leaves wisps of lace before rescinding into an amorphous film. Aroma is yeasty and doughy with tons of ester notes including banana, plum, and raisin. Flavor is raisiny and bready with a little cinnamon and pepper. Some alcohol is present but not too much. Finish is drying and slightly bitter. Body has a nice heft to it.

May 4, 2009 Pours an absolutely beautiful brown color with nice carbonation (poured into a Unibroue sniffer/tulip style glass). Nice contrasting off white head.
The aroma of fruits, grains, malts, and spices... absolutely amazing!
The taste is even better! The taste is of rich malts, carmel, fruit (plum?), and spices.
Wonderful mouthfeel.
Excellent, Excellent brew!

Apr 29, 2009 Pours a nice chestnut color with a sustained white head; slowly dissipates to a thin white film of foam. Aroma is full of chestnuts, christmas spices, and belgian yeastiness. Taste is very prickly (hihgly carbonated), lots of plum/fig tastes with Belgian yeast character. Quite tasty, but not as refreshing as a number of their other offerings. Would have been better paired with food.
