650ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a small head. Aroma of caramely malts, toffee, spices, plums and ripe fruits. Taste is sweetish, heavy and spicy with some ripe fruits, plums, mild roastiness, toffee and syrup. Finish is heavy, spicy and slightly roasty with some toffee, syrup and ripe fruits. Quite heavy, but balanced.

Refrigerated brown bomber poured into a Trappist glass. Pours opaque dark brown with big light brown head. Aroma is sweet dark fruit, medium body, well carbonated, and thick small bubble lacing. Taste is complex, sweet, yeasty, dark fruit (mostly raisin). Alcohol is well covered especially for the abv, quite flavorful,good dark Belgian ale.

Small pour from a bottle. Pours dark chestnut with a large creamy brown head that dissipates slowly with nice lacing. Aroma is dark sugars, spices, yeast. Flavor is quite sweet, light zesty bitter, spicy with stronger bitterness on the finish. Medium body, some harshness and a fair amount of heat. Decent.

The appearance is dark brown mostly close to black colored body with a slim half finger white foamy head, no lacing; the aroma has spicy Belgian yeast up front with toasted malty notes and dark fruit, some cinnamon comes to play more so as it warms; the taste is bready yet sweet and also somewhat spicy; spicy aftertaste and finish; its fairly easy on the palate but actually more of a sipper to me; overall - this is a pretty good Belgian Strong ale that I would have again

Courtesy of to tderoeck. Thx! 650 ml. bottle sampled during Zwanze Day shenanigans. Approximately 1 year old. Pours dark brown with a tanned head. Smells of brambleberry jelly, sticky dark malts, toffee, molasses, chocolate, sweet herbs. Taste is sweet brambleberries, light blueberries, light molasses, thick malts, herbs, sweet berries, brown sugar, sweet, chocolate, bit cloying, syrupy, dark fruits, faint liquorish vanishing. Very thick creamy malt body. Very nice, I was expecting a touch more from these guys to be honest given the reputation & the previous brew I tried from them.

Clear dark brown beer, creamy beige to brown head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet caramel, sugary, dried fruits, some hcocolate. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet, caramel, mocha, dried fruits, molasses, bit of coffee, sourish touch. Aftertaste: green apple, bit sour, sugary, funky weird touch to it. Was expecting more of this one...

Bottle - Brown sugar, molasses, chocolate, prunes, booze and other dark fruits. Jet black with a rich brown head. So much brown sugar and booze, it is a bit too much for me. I would have preferred a bit better rounded with some more fruit in the taste. To syrupy.

Bottle from Jonno. Nose of caramel, raisins, cola. Very fruity flavor, tangy, spicy, caramel, raisin, figs, cola. Sweet but balanced, a bit light bodied. Good. A bit too much cola notes.

Dark brown color. Huge raisins, brown sugar, molasses, milk chocolate nose. Tons of molasses, vanilla and dark chocolate. Not sweet, or cloying, very drinkable. Enjoyable

Bomber received in trade. Thank you Claspada. Pours very dark with a creamy beige head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sweet, malty and fruity with sweet dark bread, red apples, candi sugar, lemon zest, overripe pears, caramel, prunes, raisins, toffee and hay. Taste is sweet, slightly bitter and phenolic with sweet dark bread, prunes, raisins, red apples, overripe pears, sheet metal, alcohol, caramel, dry wood and toffee. Mouthfeel is round, smooth and medium, to full bodied. Finish is sweet, malty and fruity with sweet dark bread, red apples, overripe pears, caramel, wood and toffee. Pity metallic phenols become to prominent in the taste.
