330 ml bottle 2003 vintage poured a hazy deep russet with a large lasting creamy tan head. Aromas of plums, dates, spices, grapes and some faint vinous notes. Palate was light to medium bodiede. Flavors of spice, grape, apple and yeast with a crisp slightly sweet finish.

Dark brown with foamy tan head that thinned quickly. Raisin, fruitcake yeast aroma like mos Belgians of this type. Carbonated, dry, raisin, dark fruit taste.

What a good beer! Pours a dark brown with a tan head that hangs around a good while. It has that blotchy look like a bacterial growth. Flavors are cherry wood, yeast, coffee, dark fruit. Has a very nice zesty feel. Good!

Dark darkl, amber with huge tan head. Sweat yeasty aroma with stewed fruit hints. Bit of red wine hints. Sweet flavour with a lot of yeast and musty dust. Acidic palate light chewy. Glad I got a couple of bottles.

Poured from bottle.Dark red with a nice tan head. Wonderful aroma, can smell caramel, fruit, bread. Malty sweet taste, with just the right amount of hoppy bitterness to balance it out. Very dry but enjoyable. Medium mouthfell, just right. Excellent overall.
