Draft - Dark fruit, molasses and raisins. Dark maroon with a rich beige head. Dark malts, light molasses, dark fruit and a long toffee, fruity finish. Very nice.

On tap at 5 Seasons Westside. Pours a muddy brown with a medium, cream colored head. The aroma is milk chocolate, coffee, some light earthiness, and cashews. Mellow sweetness, with a lightly sour and bitter aftertaste. Medium to heavy body, smooth, and creamy. Overall, this is a milkshake of a beer, but it lacks the yeast character and complexity that I would’ve expected. Not bad, but just... alright.

(Hand bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of CaptainCougar. Pours an almost clear, dark brown with a reddish hue and a creamy, light brown head. Concentrated and very fruity nose with some good roastiness. Very rich and full-bodied, heavy carbonation, roasted malt flavours with lots of fruit. Has a vague, burned edge - very atypical Belgian, but very pleasant. 310507

Bottled. A deep brown beer with a red shine under a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, prunes, and over ripe fruits leading to a dry woody end.

This is a very interesting brew indeed. When you get a beer that defies a straightforward description, it must be a Belgian! Poured in a snifter, this dark brown brew gave up dark fruity notes of a Trappist along with sweet chocolate notes that suggested a strong brown ale or an Imperial Porter with little roastiness. Increasingly aromatic as it warmed and warming as well to the drinker. Very well done and a creatively done one as well. This one needs to be bottled and put in the cellar, I think it would do quite well over time.
