Brewed perfectly to style. Moderately sweet. Spicy Belgian yeast character. Dark fruits - plum, raisin, grape. Almost red wine like, but better of course, since beer is better than wine.

This is a world class beer, but noooot quite perfect from my perspective. I drink an awful lot of beer. I find myself searching for something of an X factor in beer. Something that goes beyond a beer brewed perfectly to style. Something that maybe makes it not quite perfectly to style, but so damn tasty i can't stop drinking it.

This one is excellent, but no X factor. Damn drinkable though. Just a tad hot on the first sip but once you dig in, the 10+% ABV disappears and it goes down real easy.

Perhaps if I was in a different mood this would have gotten all 5s. Perhaps not.

Poured on draft at local bottle shop.

A: Reddish brown with a soapy 2 finger long lasting head that left heavy lacing.

S: Belgian candy sugar, raisin, plum, tart cherries.

T: Sweet dark fruits. Some plum, raisin, date, and cherries. There is a slight tartness here that reminds me a bit of red wine.

M: Full bodied with a nice creamy texture.

O: Very well done. Had it been a bit spicier, I would have almost classified this as a quad.
