Full flavor, long lasting from the front end. Great beer.

Nice sweet taste

Beautiful ruby red in colour, with a decent tan-colored head and a good amount of lace. Aromas are primarily of dark fruits, plums, figs, raisins and anise, and the yeasts are much less prevalent than in some Belgian style beers masked by the extreme malty primacy. Tastewise, this beer continues this malty sweetness, but the alcoholic warmth and slight dryness prevents it from being cloying. Hints of brown sugar go along with the dark fruit and licorice. On the tongue, this fairly full-bodied beer is a bit syrupy, yet smooth and just warming enough so as to invite further sips/swigs. An excellent beer!
