This beer is a very dark red in colour. It has a very complex, yet very powerful soul. The hops and spices involved in its brewing process only add more zing to its flavour. Despite its density, this beer is easy to digest.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark reddish brown with a huge head. Aroma and flavour of spices, brown sugar, burnt malts and some burnt fruits. Weird burnt fruits and spices. I don't get how this is so highly rated. Decent.

Bottle. Pours brown with a off white head. The aroma has got a bit of everything really, but is yet kind of light. Slightly sour, slightly spiced, also some chocolate and anise. The taste is creamy, well balanced and comlex. Notes of toffee, sour apples, anise. Smooth.

Denmark, Aug-Sept 2009. Aged bottle from Mads (DeDolleWaitor). Hazy dark amber color, Tiny to none head. LOADS of sediments floating around. Caramel malt in the aroma with a spicy kick. Sweet malty taste, lots of fruits, ripe prunes ,cherries, raisins, caramel, sugar. An orgasm for the mouth.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a tappist glass. Pours dark brown lots of floating yeast with light brown highlights and big light brown head that dies down some. Wonderful thick small bubble lacing, good small bubble carbonation, and raisin aroma. Taste is complex malty dark fruit (raisin and a hint of prune) and some molasses.

Bottle at Delirium, Brussels. Black with white lace. Huge aroma of figs and plums, fudge and chocolate. Chewy as hell. Flavor is chocolate fudge brownie, prunes and figs, with an astonishing luscious richness of malt. Great.
