Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown color with a quarter finger of off white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark fruits, Belgian sugars and/or brown sugars, clean earthy/rooty scent, some caramel malts and a little bit of dark chocolate
Flavor: mixes the prior noted aromas on up to a mild sweet to bittersweet sort of blend; finishes dry with lingering sweetness
Texture: medium bodied, might be a sipper; not as smooth as I was hoping for as it got kinda grainy and semi-gritty
Overall: not much of Belgian dark ale to me, eh, hmmm...
