Dark red brown with lots of floaties. Lasting off-white head. Really great, complex aroma with citrus and other tropical fruits, dried fruits, licorice, chocolate, cranberries. The silly marketing blabber is actually somewhat right: Flavour of caramel and cherries, chocolate and almonds. Rather sweet, very spicy, tasty and complex. I’m not a fan of the brewery in general, but they have done amazingly here. Still ugly with all those floaties though.

Bottle as shown. Pous a cloudy amber with a medium frothy light tan head that lasts awhile leaving behind good sticky lacing along the glass and large yeast flakes. The aroma is a sweet fruity malt with caramel and yeast. Medium mouthfeel with a dark fruit malt taste with caramel and brown sugar. Hides the alcohol well, a very good Belgian strong ale from Brasserie.
