Can. Dark amber. Spicey, dried fruit nose with some esters. Really classic Belgian style. Candied fruit, hints of oak. Impressive stuff, and very reasonably priced if I remember correctly.

Can. Clear very deep reddish amber with a beige head that never gives up. Almost burnt breadcrust, dried fruit, spices. Really quite full bodied with bread and loads of dried fruit before punchy spices and quite strong bitterness at the end. Has the depth and grunt of the better big dark Belgian ales and that light finishing touch that makes them so cheerfully drinkable. I had thought that this was going to be a spirit barrel aged version of Archnemesis but there's no sign of that (spirit, age or oak) and now I see it's into the 'Wood (ie Collingwood). It's very much like their Archnemesis and a very good beer indeed.
