Dark, opaque brown. This beer was a gusher and exploded out of the bottle. Good aroma, but not a lot of it. A little sweet, some malt there as well. Alcohol is well hidden. Flavor has sweet malt, a little salty, roast beef, salt, and some orange. Good, but really expensive.

Bottle. Slight gusher. Hazy amber beer with a huge off-white head and some floaties. Earthy, spicy, malty aroma - some fruity esters, but more hops and yeast. Earthy spice flavor with rich malt and some lemon/peach fruit. Medium body. LIngering spice/fruit. Fairly dry finish. Very drinkable. Nice complexity.

Bottled 20 Dec 2005 - just about a year old. Pours a clear dark mahogany into a snifter. Medium tan head recedes to a 1/2 inch and stays there. Soapy fig aromas. Fizzy. Front to back caramel and pit fruit. Dry, lasting slightly bittersweet finish. Alcohol is very well hidden. Belgian Strong Dark Ale?
