Dark caramel-brown colour, hazy but otherwise translucid, with a very small tan-coloured head. Smells a bit like a Flemish red, at first - grapes, vinegar, stuff like that - followed by some nice bourbon, maple syrup. The taste is somewhere between an English barleywine and a quad/dubbel, with notes of caramel, apple brandy, maple syrup, bitter hops and alcohol. Medium body, mild carbonation.

Original review text: Bottle @ tasting shared by Joes. Clear dark amber color, medium sized off-white to beige head that's quite bubbly and rough and diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts, heavy iron and cherry stone. Flavor also has a bit sour tart-bitter cherry stone and overripe dark fruits. Not a huge amount of herbs or spices so that part I like about this winterbeer but overall I'm still not a fan.

(Draught at Delirium Tap Bar, Brussels, 22 Oct 2014) Hazy reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, slightly roasted nose with notes of dried fruit, figs, prunes and crisp-bread. Malty, slightly roasted taste with toast, dried fruit, figs, prunes, rye bread and a balanced spicy bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Quite bold and tasty, still fairly well balanced. Quite nice.
