355 ml can. Pours a dark mahogany with light head. Aromas of dark fruit, soft Belgian yeast, candi sugar, and bready malts. Flavors follow same; slightly metallic. Doughy for a Belgian Strong. Pleasant.

Amber colour. Some malt, some alcohol, messy, good, but where is this going? Not sure.

Clear gold with a decent white head. Grains and citrus. Grainy up front and a decent bitterness. Not really what I expected.

Dark amber-brown, with a bubbly head. Some bubblegum right up front. Sticky brown sugars, fruit. On the palate, dates and figs, some sticky sugars, stone fruit esters but thankfully none of the bubblegum. That seems to have blown off, which I appreciate.

Poured from the tap. Reddish amber with small beige head. Candi sugar, esters and touch of booze. It’s okay, simplistic, lacking depth, but fine…

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear dark red with a small white head. Nose is full of candi sugar, Belgian yeast, and some gentle red fruits. Flavour is much the same, with candi sugar, some floral notes, light esters, and red fruits. Not very deep or complex; it's a bit simplistic. Decently made but nothing special.

Nice clear ruby copper body and good solid foam. Lots of sour malt on the nose Flanders red style, fruity funk but could use some barrel aging. Taste is intense yeast, soft biscuit, ends smoith and musty. Reliable at least and brewed well but a beer like this could be a lot more bold.
