L: Poured from a bottle to a goblet. Had a dark brown color and a cloudy consistency. There was a half inch of foamy / fizzy, off white head that quickly dissipated. Fair lacing.

S: An average aroma of dark fruit, malt, Belgian yeast, and candi sugar.

T: Tasted of a bit of malt (mostly in the finish), some Belgian yeast (present throughout), a good shot of dark fruit (raisins, plums), some apples, and a little candi sugar. This is another of those uneven flavors. You get a decent amount of the candied dark fruit, but not enough of other ingredients. Nonetheless, there's a lively quality to the flavor.

F: A well-carbonated beer with a vibrant finish. Medium-bodied.

O: An uneven beer, but likable. Worth a look.

As inspiration from the Belgian abbey finds favor at the doorstep of Apocalypse Ale Works, the wine-ish taste of tart grape couples with malt sweetness, yeast spices and stone fruit to capture the essence of those classics.

And as the ale pour a dark russet brown with burgundy shades, its light carbonation fuels only a creme-like swirl before falling still. With one pass of the nose, those candied fruit flavors come to life with plum, red grape, date and raisin. As the taste glosses the tastebuds, the initial flavors are savory with hard candy and steely caramels.

Its light carbonation allows the fruit and sweetness to rest weightily on the tongue, saturating it with those residual caramels, simply syrups and confectioner's sweetness. Deep, dark and dried stone fruits offer their succulent, earthen and strong sweetness to suggest flavors of old fashioned horehound candy and cola. Finishing peppercorn and cinnamon trail in taste and usher in a dryly sweet, red wine character.

Medium-full and simply sweet, the beer's lack of expressive carbonation never allows the beer's lively, bubbly or spice action to evolve. Like a light, spicy barleywine, its dull bubbles limits the beer's aromas, it upsets the fruit/spice balance and keeps the beer sweet rather than dry. Still, its Belgian roots remain in tact and delight the palate with its fruit and spice medley deep in aftertaste.
