argo0 (6231), Washington DC, USA Feb 13, 2003 Creamy tan head atop a dark brown body. Aroma is sweet plum/date, some yeast, and definite alcohol. Taste is sweet, dark fruity, and nicely malty. Medium body, with a slight over-carbonation that detracts. Improves significantly as it warms to room temperature. This is a very pleasant beer, but I didn't find much depth.
Imperial-John (100), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Oct 13, 2008 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. Winchestercer (3), , Spain does not count Oct 13, 2008 Magnifica trapista. Negra con mucho aroma y sabor intenso con notas a chocolate y regaliz Strykzone (1023), Wood River, Illinois, USA Oct 11, 2008 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! Cartoon_khaki (1120), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Oct 10, 2008 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. mikalooch (31), , New Jersey, USA Oct 8, 2008 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.
