Val-Dieu Grand Cru

33cl Bottle. Pours nice dark reddish brown with a creamy off-white head. Sweet full malty aroma with notes of yeast, red wine, dark fruits, alcohol. Flavour is malty sweet, a little yeast, dark fruits, a bit of chocolate with a sweet alcohol finish and a hint of bitterness. Fullbodied, creamy mouthfeel. Very nice beer.

Alla spina al Manneken Pis di Napoli, una discreta abt belga dalle caratteristiche un poco stereotipate, ma non malvagia, di colore scuro con forte sentore etilico ma non fastidioso.

Bottle from Delhaize. Nice dark colour. Sweet, fruity nose. Caramel and sugary taste. Very nice and apropos for the holidays.

Bottle--Dark, dark brown color with a small head and medium lasting head. Aroma was slight, but was mostly raisins. The taste was full of malts with some caramel taste and slight carbonation. Produce place.

Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with a large creamy brown head. The aroma was malty with undertone of sweettart candies snf root beer. The flavor was tart and malty with notes of ripe fruits and brown sugar. The finish was long , malty, fruity and again had a touch of rootbeer. Odd but good.

Thanks to Redlight for the taste. Lots of dark fruits and biscuit flavors, almost like a Fig Newton. A slight bit of vanilla in there, too. Brown with a white head, and light on the alcohol.

Corked and bailed 0.75L bottle. The cork took a cork screw to remove and it has 02/10 printed on it. Not sure what that means. Poured deep brown with amber hues and fairly off white head leaving nice lacing behind in the glass. The mild aroma has notes of mildly musty dark fruitiness, some lemon sweet/tart candy and hints of yeast. A longer draw brings up Belgian candi sugar and some alcohol heat. The taste has bold and rich dark fruitiness from figs, dates, ripe plums, raisins and a murmuring of black pepper. About midway a dose of allspice, coriander and clove break through the dark fruit dominated flavor and then proceed to fade away into the finish. The dark fruitiness and pepper really don’t let up until deep into the after taste (or next morning).
