Reviewed from notes.
Can to chalice.
Appearance: dark brown color with a quickly dissipating little white head, no lace
Aroma: dark cherries & plums, candied apricots, caramel & toffee malts, brown sugar, Belgian yeasty tones, some earthy spices and some dark bread
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together semi-sweet with a balancing spice to it; brisk aftertaste of Belgian spicy yeastiness and dark fruits
Texture: light to medium bodied, great sipper. Clean yet that Belgiany "back-of-the-throat" pulling quality which grips my tongue the way I expected it, finishes semi-spicy with dark fruity sweetness
Overall: despite how the look may have turned out - yes a bit flat, the aromas & flavors ended up pulling through. I'd have again and hope CM gets that carbonation issue fixed.
