Pours a hazy red-amber colour with a beige fizzy head that disappears rather quickly leaving no lace. Nutty nose with dark fruit aromas and some brown sugars. Raisins, dates flavours with some nuttiness in the middle and pretty solid bitterness in the finish. Lingering roastiness and hints of caramel. A good Belgian strong brown beer.

Darker ruby red color with brownish foam head, lasting and lacing to (original La Gauloise) glass. Small aroma, caramel mostly. Taste is dominated by sweet caramel, some coffee, litter bitter. Longer sweet aftertaste. Perfect with meat dish I ordered. (Vlaardingen 201209)

Dark ruby red colour, big beige head, lacing. Aroma of sweet raisins and hints of malt. Flavour raisins, malt, caramel, hops and with some hints of roast. Very sweet, which made it kind of slow to drink.

Bottle. Great looking, clear, dark amber coloured beer, with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is toffee, caramel, yeasty and plums. Taste is brown sugar, toasted malts, raisins, lightly acidic with a slight bitter finish and aftertaste. Full bodied, moderate carbonation and creamy. Complex and very good.
