33cl bottle from La Maison Belge, Puerto de la Cruz. Pours slighty hazy dark brown to amber, with a rather small, tan head. Malty aroma with dark fruits, sugar, caramel, alcohol and hints of spices. Sweet and malty with warming alcohol. Full body with carbonation more on the soft side. Too sweet, but certainly pleasant.

Courtesy of keifdog. Pours amber with thin tan head. The aroma is dusty dark fruity esters of prunes, dates and nearing but not getting to a raisin quality. I also get some faint yeasty spice. The taste is very much the same with pleasing dark fruitiness moving into raisins then prunes, dates and figs then becoming brown sugar like with a hint of Belgian candi. The alcohol is there but not distracting at all. Nice stuff.

Single bottle from a SAQ private import. Pours a slight hazy, deep golden-amber colour with a big frothy beige head, good retention and some foamy lace. Sour smell at first, but some notes of nuts and cardboard are added. Then, some dark fruits appear with some hints of candy. Taste of raisins with some roasted malts in the finish. All very light and no alcohol apparent. Mild bitterness does come up eventually. Goes down quite nicely and get better with time.

Dark brown (almost black) with brown foam head. Aroma is bittersweet, not to much caramel, rather hoppy. Taste is hoppy with some grass/flowers notes present. Nice bittersweet aftertaste. (Velp 201212)

Pours a rich, opaque dark-chocolate brown with a nice fine-bubbled light tan head. Aroma is malty and has an overtone of hard cider. Malty flavor has a strong fruity and brandy-like tone, as well as a hint of chocolate and just a whisper of sweetness. Texture is smooth and quite fizzy.

A dark brown beer with a medium beige foam collar on top. Has a full, spiced aroma with some wood and brown sugar. Its texture is quite fresh, not at all acidic. The flavour is relatively sweet as brown sugar and quite spiced. The aftertaste is slightly fresh sweet. There's hardly no sense of the alcohol when tasting, but its effect kicks in quite soon after.
