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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark amber with a huge head. Very unclear - almost muddy appearance. Some spiciness - perhaps even coriander for Joris’ sake? But also a lovely malty feel, some toffee and caramel with a balancing bitterness in the finish. Nice indeed. 020198

Deep reddish-brown body, thin buff head. Banana, toast, caramel, and alcohol dominated the aroma. Tart, fruity body, with hints of raisin, cherries, and banana in addition to caramel and toast. Alcohol is evident in the finish. Sharp and to-the-point, medium bodied. Decent, although monotonous. Thanks humulus.

A hazy deep red beer with a disappearing light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of toffee and caramel, as well as hints of alcohol. The flavor is very sweet with notes of spices, caramel, alcohol, and fruit as well as hints of the alcohol. The mouthfeel is dry.

Note: moved rating from wrong beer: I'd say below average for Belgian dark ale. The flavour has the typical lightly raisiny fruitiness and dark malt, but the malt doesn't develop very well and the palate is far too yeasty for my tastes.

High carbonation, but no head at all - dark ruby, good clarity - slighty yeasty aroma - flavor is very subtle, too subtle even - some plums and other dark fruits, vinous qualities - watery finish - soft and dry, slight tartness - pretty boring.
