Jul 18, 2007 Bottle, 75cl @ YNWA. Pours a golden dark mahogany with a small, creamy and slightly grey-beige head. There is a stunning level of lacing in this beer! Powerful aroma of dried fruits (raisins and plums) along with a dose of dark chocolate. Lightly oily mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet with a weak background of chocolate. Then a lot of burnt sugar appears, and it mixes well with the lingering alcohol at the end. There is a touch of tartness at the end.

May 2, 2007 Bottle sampled on 1/18/07: Pours a transparent dark mahogany with a nicely-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel malt and bready Belgian yeast with a touch of raisiny complexity. Body starts sweet and malty with nice, full-bready texture toward a drier, earthy sweet finish. A nice Belgian strong ale.

Dec 7, 2004 dark ruby-brown colour, fine and slightly brown-taintd head, lot of licorice in the nose, some notes of chocolate, alcohol and spices, full-bodied and very sweet, the finish is sugary with licorice and alcohol notes - definitely too sweet but it seems to have a huge ageing potential

Mar 7, 2005 Dense off-white head like whipped egg-white; opaque dark brown beer, with orangey shine. Earthy, leafy, mossy nose, but all very subdued. And dark malts, of course, bière Wallonne oblige Mix of cookies and spices, but in a clashing way, alas. I get continously conflicting flavours; generally (quite) sweet, spicey, bitterish, piney. Still, it’s OK, I suppose. Slick, nearly fatty, chewy; sweet aftertaste, liquorice-like. Reasonable winter ale. Not too spicey, just a tad too sweet. And (of course?), lacking character and balance.
