Dark beer, almost black with creamy and brown foam. Rich and powerful beer with a very long after-taste. Very complex and still soft aroma. The high level of alcohol is very subtlety hidden. It is prepared with strongly roasted malt which gives its very special taste.

0,75L bottle (from Wine of Galilee). Pours dark ruby with beige head. The head stays. Aroma is rotten apples, malt, sugar, caramel. Flavor is sweet, caramel, fruits, malt, alcohol. Finish is alcohol and burnt sugar. Overall: good one.

Sampled @ ZBF 2015. Dark brown, little mocha head. Nose light dark wood, lots of sugar, touch overripe dark fruit. Taste is strongly sweet, brown sugar heavy, overripe fruits, lightly soapy, yeast, raisins, caramel, strong spices. Not as heavy as you would expect. Good, would expect more complexity but satisfactory as a sweet & strong Belgian. (Thx! for sharing people!)

750 ml bottle. Very dark brown. Aroma is a shit ton of dark fruits (raisins, figs and dates).
The flavor is great layers of dark fruits. Layers and layers with a thin body. However, the yeast and dark fruits are really layered well. ABV is hidden well. Sweet flavor, but not overly sweet but I really like it.

Flaske hjemme på julaften: champagnesmell og flott beige skum blir til gardin og film som varer helt til bunns. Høytidsstemning allerede i aromaen - kirsebær, vanilje, molasse, rosiner, svisker og fiken. Alt dette til tross er ikke smaken for søt, den er faktisk frisk og fristende. Alt for lett å helle innpå - her gjelder det å passe seg så jordrotasjonen ikke tar overhånd. Et ganglag for sjelen innkjøpt på Belgisk Bryg februar -14.
