Ommegang Seduction is lovingly brewed with six dark malts. Chocolatier Callebut provides the chocolate, while Liefmans brings the cherries. This international romance is consumated with a full body, alluring aromas and flavors of Belgian chocolate, and tart cherries. Seduction is an ale to be lovingly embraced.
Beautiful, rich and smooth, roasty and malty throughout, Seduction offers balanced chocolate-cherry notes, a bit of caramel sweetness, and a long, slow finish. Seduction is welcoming and warm-hearted, gently hopped and harbors no bitterness, leaving only a lingering glow.

Refrigerated 75 cl brown bottle, bottled on December 5, 2011, corked and capped poured into a tulip. Pours dark brown with big light brown head. Aroma is chocolate/roast, medium body, medium carbonation, and good big bubble lacing. Taste is chocolate, some fruit (mostly cherries), and long roasty slightly herbal hop finish. This is a good porter and holds up well.

Bottle at Craig’s. Pours dark brown, no real head. Aromas of light chocolate and raisins. Tastes is more of the same. not really getting ’Belgian’. Thin finish. OK.

Draft at Dexters. Deep brown-black-red body. Lacy, patchy head. Deep malty, fruity undertones. chalky chocolate malt. Smooth sugary malt tones. Almost mild cherry tones under the smooth malt. Quite enjoyable, but the Dexters taps probably make it less enjoyable than the bottle. Kind of like a Dubbel without the Belgian yeast forwardness. Choco-cherry all the way. Really smooth and well done. Big, but not at all overbearing.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 11/10/2011. Pours pitch black color with a 2-3 finger dense and fluffy tan head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice foamy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of raisin, cherry, prune, milk chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, toast, dark bread, clove, pepper, earth, and yeast spiciness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of roasted notes and yeast esters. Taste of cherry, raisin, milk chocolate, roasted malt, cocoa, toast, dark bread, clove, earth, light pepper, and yeast spiciness. Slight fruit and cocoa tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark fruit, milk chocolate, cocoa, toast, roasted malt, dark bread, earth, and light yeast spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice balance and complexity of roasted chocolate flavors and yeast esters; with zero cloying flavors present on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very creamy and slightly chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice Belgian style porter! Very nice balance and complexity of roasted chocolate flavors and yeast esters; and extremely smooth to drink. Really enjoyed this one.
