A deep clear brown ale with mahoganny hues, and a super thick frothy light moka head. A nice aroma of sweet malt with catnip and Brett notes. In mouth, a sweet candy sugar with light licorice, woody notes, and Brett. A bit too sweet but overall good. Rich and oily. Tasted January 2009. Bieropholie import.

Sweet malt aroma that is good but lacks complexity. Flavor has some light charcoal and that lightly sweet Val Dieu house flavor. Dark brown appearance with lots of sediment. Like other Val Dieu beers, this one has a way of offering a heavy, powerful beer with refreshing qualities as well.
