Dark reddish mahogany color, fine-bubbled and very persistent head. Aroma is quite complex, having some various dark and sweet fruits, a slightly medicinal component, and some dark sugar. Flavor is also quite complex, with the sweet-bready malty flavors dominating, but also a touch of wine. Creamy mouthfeel for such a style. Spicy and interesting yeast flavors in the finish. Medium bodied. I tried it both before and after I swirled and poured the yeast. The yeast added a bit of nuttiness and sharpness to the finish. Incredible lacing, this is an attractive beer, and a very nice one all around. Unique.

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.
