Taste has raisin, prune, sweetness of dried fruits, some barrel. Medium bodied. I love the original version and it feels the barreling is hidden some nuancees and this is not so good anymore. Maybe not so fresh anymore. Anyway, good beer.

Thought I had rated this beer before, not the case. I now have a 330 ml bottle from Belgian’s Finest Beers ready to open and pour. The tulip glass receives a liquid that is a dark cola color with a swell, creamy head of a quite light, tan head that is repeatedly recharged. I smell cherries, dark fruit and dark bread. I lift the glass for a drink, raisins, grain, yeast, malt, plums and fruit cake. A nice dark Belgian ale in the middle of the summer.
