Bottle, 33 cl. Dark brown coloured, medium beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and candy sugar. Taste is also roasted malt, with a sweet aftertaste of candy sugars in it. Light caramel, some notes of spices. Lacking a bit overall in pallet, but a very decent beer to drink.

Bottle. Poured a dark dark brown with no head. Nose has some spice notes. Lots of sweetness, some dark fruits, an a pretty good hint of the abv. Nice depth of flavor. Good but not great.

Bottle for xmas. Very, very dark brown pour with a tan head that dissipates into a smathering. Aroma of estery belgian yeast, sweet candi sugar, and some nondescript frutiness. Flavor is sweet, strong, and caramelly. The belgian yeast is there but not doing anything particularly interesting. It’s sweet and huge and has a nice palate. Overall, pretty good belgian.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet and so is the flavor. The palate is bold and overall a average beer.

Brown to black coloured. Pours out with a small head, beige-like. Aroma is candysugar, molasse, coffee.taste is full, bitter, chocolate-like. Alochol is slightly dominating, but not too much. Compared to the tripel-one the alcohol is not so doominating. Slightly sweety, nice.

Warm-brown coloured beer with bubbley off white foam. Aroma is rich with hints of caramel, fruits, sugars and dark cereals. Taste is warm, sweet, caramely, fruity and boozy.

330 mL bottle from St. Veronus. Opaque chestnut brown with a small, short-lived brown head. Mild aroma makes me think more of a dubbel than a brown or quad. The flavour is just too sweet. Humbugs and brown sugar. How do you end up with this much residual sugar?!? Low carbonation doesn’t help.

Bottle at Brouhaha. The color is a dark hazy brown with an off white head. The aroma is of malt and plumes. The taste also of malt and plumes and caramel and fruits. The taste is very heavy and the alcohol is very present.Very good Belgium beer but a wee heavy in the alcohol% for me.
