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.

12.7oz bottle, Oct 2014 vintage. (Lost track of where I got this because I was at the brewery before this was bottled) Color is a very deep brown. Still great carbonation, laces the side of the chalice. Aroma is light oak, chocolate, brown sugar, and of course dark fruit.

Taste is dark breads, with cherries, wood, very light spice, and a decent showing of Belgian yeast. Initially sweet followed by a light boozy finish. Medium to lighter in body. Smooth texture with soft carbonation. All in all, my only complaint is the lighter body. That said this held up well and is still very tasty.

Draft - Sweet plum and dark raisin. Deep brown with a decent beige head. Roasty notes, seem plum and prune. More dark and roasty than fruity.
