Opaque brown-bronze. White film of head, dots of lace. Lots of dirty rum raisin malt on the nose, sweet. Flavor is similar; earthy grape skin, apple, fair bit of whiskey-like caramel booze and some outright ethanol. Pretty embarrassing for being only 8%. Finish has a noticeable but mild amount of pine hop bitterness. Feel is oily creamy smooth, tiny bumps of carbonation.
Nasty beer, but not so bad that I couldn't finish the bottle to extract its (readily noticeable) alcohol.

I really liked this one, was a good reminder that almost every Belgian beer is a masterpiece. This one was no exception, although I had to battle it a bit when trying to force it into a glass - the head was about to overflow. I loved the yeast in it, was not as funky as a Brett but still it made the beer fizzy enough and gave it that “wild” feeling, especially in the aroma. The body at the same time was quite malty and while having some sweetness to it, it was quite balanced. Hops, malts, yeast, everything you’d need.
Had to pour it into a Stone Gargoyle glass, just for the mix & match fun of it.

En copa Grimbergen. Jugando a Wonder Boy Dragons Trap. Con queso pok. Perfil muy belga con notas a fruta confitada. Llena la boca y se bebe bastante bien, sin molestar el alcohol y sin llegar a sobresalir

Es una cerveza con una muy pequeña cabeza blanca. De cuerpo ligero y baja carbonatación. Del aroma se percibe pan y caramelo. Es dulce, opaca con un final afrutado para el tipo de cerveza.

Bottled and possibly bottle conditioned
Pours a reddished hued amber body with decent enough white head
A sweetish rust like aroma
That flavour is there too
Easy drinking

I enjoyed a 4-pack of this and strung it out for 8 months; testing it with different foods and seasons.
It was good enough that I'm looking for it and its Gold rendition.
MJ's "Great Beers of Belgium" cryptically called it a "caramelly Red."
It seems he was less impressed than me.

Deep red colour, head dies down quite fast...

I really like the aroma...it's deep and complex and menacing. Many many elements...

When I had this in London a few years ago, it stood out as the best beer in the Belgian beer cafe I was in. I had had a few though before I tried it...

It's definitely complex, though it's missing the togetherness of flavors to make it really good. It's a bit too carbon dioxidey, and it's missing the fullness of a Duvel or IPA or alternative Belgian beer. If you leave it to rest for a while, it kind of improves.

This is pretty good, just not as amazing as I orinally believed

Pours amber with thick off-white head. Smells slightly yeasty, but mostly neutral. Sweet taste with some yeast, but very light feeling and not much depth to the flavors. Finishes with a bit of citrus and spice, but it's very tame.
