Bottle. Aromas of sweet dark fruits and lightly roasted caramel. A mahogany color with a frothy tan head. Medium in body with frothy/creamy carbonation. The malt is more toffee than caramel, maybe with a touch of coffee or chocolate. The fruits are dark - cherry, prune, raisin type. Could be a touch of molasses. The finish is fairly dry with mild spiciness and dark malt. The finish is lightly sour, not too much bitter. It’s a whole lot tastier than I could describe.

Bottled (BB 08/2009)
Hazy orange color with small steady white head. Honey, mango and some papery hops in reasonably strong nose. After this kind of aroma, beer is drier than expected. Packed with alcohol and some fruityness and spiceyness. Alcohol is warming, but not dominating. Dry finish with papery notes (hops?). A bit too simple palate, although it is decent brew (tripel I would say).

Bottle from Hop Duvel, Gent. Mahogany coloured with a decent tan head that left plenty of lacing. Aroma was sweet, with plenty of dark fruit, candy sugar and yeast. The flavour was similar with a slightly bitter finish. Not the most memorable Belgian beer.

250ml bottle bought in Bruges. Black with a decent tan head. Very sweet aroma of molasses and coffee. Flavour was also sweet, with some dark fruit and not much of a finish. Not for me.
