[i] [b] Bottle picked up at Westholme Londis Stores, Goring on Thames, Oxon consumed 16-06-08 [/i] [/b] Reddy brown with large off white head, I like the commercial description I reckon that whoever penned that must have had about half a dozen of these before putting pen to paper. toffee, rich christmas cake fruitiness, alcohol is very much in evidence, very malty, some brandy soaked bananaeyness is there, I liked this.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown, golden, and with a slowly collapsing light tan head. Malt dense and fruity aroma with a light yeasty spice note. Flavour holds a mild overripe fruity note to a nice and solid caramel malt flavour and a light yeasty spice note. Yeasty, malty and towards light bitter finish. Nice one.

Bottle, 33cl swing top. Except for the sediments in the bottle, it was a clear, reddish-brown beer, with a small, beige head. Some sweetness in the aroma, as well as dried fruits, but it was a rather boring one, considering it’s high alcohol and origin. Sweet flavor with dried fruits and alcohol. Maybe a bit one-tracked, but I like it. The alcohol were present in the finish too, but well hidden, overpowered by caramel and roasted malt. Full-bodied, quite effervescent. I prefer it’s sister Boerinneken, but this one’s good too. (080112)

Bottle. Thanks to Fonefan. Pours dark unclear amber with a good creamy white head. Aroma is roasted malts, dark fruits (prunes & raisins). Yeast & the dark fruits dominates the taste. Some caramel & brown sugar. Very filling & soft body. Complex & warm. Nice Belgium strong ale!

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet and quite spicy combined with strong notes of caramel, as well as notes of over ripe fruit, prunes, and some yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel sauce, alcohol, prunes, over ripe fruits, yeast, and brown sugar, leading to a slightly alcoholic, dry, and woody finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours an almost clear, dark amber with a beige head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt, caramel and fruit. Full-bodied with flavours of sweet, roasted malt, some dried fruit and a lightly vinous, port-like feel. No bitterness. 090407
