Thick, fluffy off-white head atop an almost opaque, deep-red brown body. Not real lacing, but it might have been my slightly wet glass. Malty, sweet and spicy scent. Taste is slightly bitter and of fruit such as raisins/figs. Not as overly carbonated as others have remarked. Dark, flavourful and potent, but remarkable easy to drink.

does not count  Aug 29, 2008 Bottle from Systembolagets beställningssoritiment. Served in a Westmalle glass. Sweet "belgian" aroma with hints of toffee. The flavour is fruity and yeasty - complex. Cloudy body.

Aug 29, 2008 Copper pour with a creamy head, yeast proteins visible. Spicy citrus aroma (oranges), slightly floral. Nice spice component dominates the malt, notes of orange, cinnamon sugary. Finish is very sweet and sugary but soft and well balanced...perhaps a bit too sweet as it warms.

Aug 28, 2008 Deep dark brown in color and very cloudy. Nice head with tiny bubbles due to the secondary fermentation. Has a yeasty, raspberry aroma. Thick mouth feels as expected from appearance. Subtle bite and excellent tart taste with a moderate acidic finish.

Aug 27, 2008 A very complex Belgian-style amber /brown ale. Apples, wheat, spices, lots of dark fruits, and rich, sweet malt. Nice balance of sour, sweet, and a touch of bitter. Rich and tasty.

Aug 26, 2008 from 750ml bottle - need to find my notes from the Unibroue tasting at my local supermarket. Always a favorite at my house.
