On tap at the brewery in a flight. Nice, ruby tinted brown color, with a small, tan head and good lacing. The nose is caramel and cocoa, with some light anise, dried bananas, nutmeg, and molasses. Sweet and malty, with a bit of savory spice and a very light bitterness. Medium to heavy body, syrupy, and clean in the finish. This is a really nice, big, brown ale, but lacks the depth and complexity of a real Belgian ale. Still, a solid and tasty beer.
