Tastes like a Chimay blue without the fruit flavors. Would prefer a Chimay.

Sweet, malty, loads of dark fruit, with a bit of alcohol on the breath.

Slightly sweet raisiny/musty note. Dry and crisp.

Pours a nice, beige, creamy yet rocky head with solid retention and thick lace (the lace possibly being the finest I have ever seen as it erodes halfway upon movement with remarkable retention of the remainder). Beer is a beautiful deep red in colour. Aromas offer hints of fruity esters, especially of cherry and banana, alongside that yeasty/malty mixture of sweetened cloves and spices, and even a faint hint of licorice. The flavour is also sweet, but more balanced than is typical of the style with a strong dryness bordering on astringency. Flavourwise, one gets hints of raisin and sweet malty fruitiness, alongside lesser hints of cinnamon, caramel, and earthy-ness. It has a fairly thick body and interesting mouthfeel that mixes smooth creaminess with a prickly carbonation. All in all, a very good beer (though far from a Rochefort 8!)

Smooth. A bit caramelly.

Complexly flavored. Dark tone with a tangy hint, almost like a yoghurt. Lovely. Would be excellent paired with mushrooms.

Slightly sour nose. Taste of toffee and a slight amount of chocolate

Good malt flavor with a light hop bite. Nice dry finish.

Aroma Sweet, raisin, slight Belgian yeast strain Taste Malty sweet bitter taste, raisin taste.
