This beer has nice fruity and spicy notes from the Belgian yeast used in fermentation. The chocolate and raisin flavors are well-balanced with a lingering dry finish. Excellent on a cold winter night and paired with heartier dishes like stews and roasts. Also excellent with chocolate desserts.

Bottle shared at Ma Che, Roma, 09/02/13, sourced from Beermongers, PDX. Lightly hazed chestnut brown with a thin off white head that clears to a film and the edge of the glass. Nose is dark fruits, light yeast, spice, dates, orange. Taste comprises dark malt, yeast, dates, farmy notes, brett tones, candied sugars. Medium bodied with light spritzy carbonation, a little too much for my liking. Overall a decent Belgian strong but at the lower end of the RR spectrum.

09/02/2013 375ml bottle (thanks Theydon_Bois!). Bellissima color miele di castagno con riflessi mogano, schiuma beige un po’ stentata ma abbastanza persistente. Al naso è una goduria incredibile, prugne secche e datteri, vaniglia, caramello, zucchero di canna, un po’ di tostato e spezie. In bocca è complessa e dannatamente bilanciata, dolce, caramello, frutta matura, ancora spezie, il finale è amarognolo, pulito. Corpo medio, alcol non pervenuto, gran scorrevolezza, eleganza. Una birra sopraffina, sicuramente tra le migliori belgian strong ale mai bevute al di fuori del Belgio.

Bottle thanks to my bro jackl. It pours deep mahogany brown with a small light tan head. The nose is caramel, wood, brown sugar, chocolate, over-ripe plum, prune and candy. The taste is wood, prune, plum, leather, candy, brown sugar, spice, earth and light astringency with a dry finish. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Smooth, well balanced balance and pretty drinkable. Nice.
