330 ml bottle into tulip glass, M4TRP bottle code. Pours hazy very dark brown color with a 1 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, chocolate, toast, coffee, brown bread, brown sugar, raisin, plum, fig, clove, pepper, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt, earthy hop, and fruity/spicy yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of caramel, chocolate, toast, coffee, brown bread, brown sugar, raisin, plum, clove, pepper, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Fair amount of earthy yeast spice on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, chocolate, coffee, brown bread, brown sugar, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity and robustness of dark/roasted malt, fruity/spicy yeast, and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/yeast balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and fairly crisp/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good Belgian dark ale. Good complexity and balance of dark/roasted malt, earthy hop, and yeast ester flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Opaque dark brown colour, one finger foamy tan head, recedes quickly to a thin layer with good lacing. Aroma roasted malts, caramel, coffee, moccha, bitter chocolate, cloves, herbal hops. Taste medium sweetbitter, roasted malts, light coffee. Full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation, bittersweet roasted aftertaste, bit spicy. Reminds me of a strong porter.

Some light raisin and prune. Light florals with some light raisin and fruit. Pours dark brown with ok head and lacing. Bottle from Foodery.

Bouteille 75cl. Dorée, léger orangée, col épais beige. Arôme est houblonné frais tirant sur du noble, léger malté cara et grillé avec une pointe boisée. Petit sucre résiduel sur un côté poussiéreux. Palais est malté léger sucré brun touche crystal? pour une belle note douce résiduelle finement boisée. Levure belge typique sur la fin. Note un fruité un peu fermenté rappelant abricot voire banane.
