Dark red-brown colour. 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 toffee and date.

Bottled. Dark ambery brown colour with big beige foamy head, which leaves a lot of lacing. Aroma is caramel malts, some alcohol and mild fruity- and yeastyness. Pleasant. Flavour is raisins, caramel, sweet malts, some nectary and fruityness as well as mild hopping. Alcohol shows as a very slight glueish note being in the background. Biting carbonation.

Dark mahogany color, big head. Fruity aroma (banana) and candi sugar. Medium body strength, some caramel flavor and some sweetness, with a late light fruitness (banana again) and sweet liquorice. Not exciting.

A clear dark brown with ruby hues, with a thick light moka head, and floaties. A light sweet aroma of dates, oranges, ginger, and candy sugar. In mouth, a lightish sweet candy sugar, wit light ginger and tangerines, light coriander, and warming alcohol. Medium bodied, light for the style. Not bad. Bieropholie import.

End-of-scale dark amber ale with yellow-brown, creamy head. Very fruity, grapey nose, some alcohol and a lot of fusels. Fusels again, as well as sweet licorice in the taste. Fruity, but in a less natural sense of the word. Vinous in the first instant, again in the aftertaste. Warming up, some bitterish roasted/ near-coffee-like notes. Quite well bodied, obvious alcohol (it IS Huyghe), creamy texture. Nowhere bad, but somehow, one would be tempted to expect a little more complexity...

Pour is a cloudy brown with a nice tan head. Aroma is a very nice wine almost perfumey smell. Flavor is figs, dark cherries and some caramel. Flavor loses something after awhile or this would have got a better score. Still very tasty and leaves you guessing as to what they used to brew this. Prob not the best GC but something to get you an idea of what they can be. Cork Date 2001.

Bottled (BBE 11/2007)
Hazy nut brown color, small tanned head. Strong aroma of rye porridge and berries. Medium-bodied, malty. Berries and roast. Quite carbonated. A bit sugary in the finish with alcoholic bitterness. Reasonably drinkable but quite boring belgian brown ale.
