Dark red-brown colour (EBC 75). A firm creamy and cream-coloured head. The smell of roasted malt, caramel and the sweet fruitiness of the alcohol give this beer the perfect aroma. Flavour: Caramel, sweet fruitiness and a pleasant bitterness are the predominant flavours. The aftertaste reveals a pinch of coffee and date.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown with a red hazy outline in the light, head was a thin creamy beige head. The aroma is fruit with a slight citrus presence. Taste is a sweet metallic malt with a acidic fruit bitter finish.

Bottle, 7%. Nice, caramelly, sweet, malty aroma. Cloudy brown colour. The flavour is sour and quite malty. Citric and fruity flavour, but also a little strange. Peppery and quite sour. High carbonation.

Bright mahogany colour. Interesting winey, fruity aroma with accents of wood and raisins. Fairly full body, though quite fizzy. Simplistic plummy malts, hints of toffee and maybe some brighter fruits.

A hazy amber beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fresh apples as well as over ripe fruit, the flavor is pretty much like the aroma though added a touch of caramel.

Bottled. Ruby colour, no head. Aroma of canned pineapple and cheap white wine. Sweet and sharp with medium body. Hard and metallic, perhaps some red berries. Flavourwise OK, but I’ve never before encountered a beer with such disastrously sharp mouthfeel.

Bottled (BBE 10/2007)
Dark ruby, good tanned head. Sharp anise/metallic aroma, a bit roast and a bit plums. Carbonated, hard mouthfeel. Quite thin palate, roast, chocolate, evident alcohol, a bit toffee and raisins. Bitterish-sweetish aftertaste, some hops lingering. A bit rough and unbalanced but drinkable.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark indeed with an almost flat appearance, the CO2 is very low. Lightly sweetish with a lovely almost chocolatey aroma. Soft body with a very discreet hoppiness in the palate. An excellent abbey beer. My version was the original from Vieille Villers in Puurs. Now this is brewed by Huyghe. 080194
