The new masterpiece from the Val-Dieu brewery. A very complex and full-bodied beer with a long aftertaste. The brewmaster advices to cellar the beer for a year for it to unfold its full potential.

Bottle 75cl. Reddish-brown pour. Nose was slightly alcohol and that of which I can only describe as a buttery triple cream brie cheese. Flavor was slightly sugary, with hints of dark fruit and yeast. A nice beer with lots more potential with cellaring.

Reddish-brown. Did somebody put dish soap in my Belgian ale? Also sugary, like candied oranges. Dark fruit.

Draft. Brown body, small white head, sweet fruity nose. Fruity, spicy, hides alcohol exceptionally well.

On Tap Hamilton’s. This ale is very dark with a nice froth head and the flavors dance around from that belgian candy sugar with a balance of fruit and spices similar to plums and anise. The nose isnt as presence as the flavor but this one is going real fast.

This reportedly is the Grand Cru. It pours a muddy brown with little head. It is about three years old. Overall pleasant, and a drying rich taste. Definite dark fruit, pepper, and cocoa, well balanced.
