Drank from my Chimay chalice
A - Pours a clear Copper / Mahogany colour with an off white one fingered head that reduces to a film slowly and laces.
S - Plums, raisins and burnt sugars.
T - Plenty of dark stewed fruits and with the warming alcohol becomes almost Port like. The finish is a little boozy but the dark fruits just hang around to balance it out.
M - Light to medium body with light to medium carbonation. A little thin
O - I like the lingering Port like flavours in this one. Some BSDA's can be a little sickly sweet or alcoholic, but this one hits the spot quite nicely. I drank this one with some sharp crumbly cheaddar and it went quite well.

Poured from 11.2 oz bottle bought in NYC into a Brooklyn Brewery Snifter
A - Pours dark with a tan head. Not much lacing and head died down fairly quck
S - Smell inside bottle was of grapes and dark fruit. Almost like a grape juice
M - CARBONATION! like a soda. It bordered on unpleasant for beer. The carbonation dies down as the beer warms.
T - Sweet. Its like a caramel sugar cube with hints of dark fruits. Malty. Putting aside the carbonation, it actually finishes nice. Its like belgian beer candy.
O - It was an interesting beer to try but probably won't be trying it again. Someone who likes this style of beer and likes a lot of carbonation will like this a lot. Not for me

A-
33cl into a tulip. Pours an opaque walnut, dense towering cola colored head recedes leaving dangling clumpy froth.
Strong vinous qualities dominates the scent along with spices including ginger, clove and that elusive spice grape bubblegum. wonderful
Flavor surprises with an initial roastyness which turns to a mild bittersweet chocolate aftertaste. Significant dark fruits and hazelnut with the spices joining in. Thin bodied lively mouthfeel.

Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a dark, hazy orange brown. Gentle pour produces a massive, long lasting cream colored head. Aroma of caramel and dark and light fruits. Complex flavor of dark fruit, caramel malt. Pleasant sweet but dry finish with intense fruit flavor. Medium bodied. Very nicely made and fun to drink. Will search this out again.

33 cl bottel poured into my lost abbey stemware glass
Pours a hazy dark amber color with a huge foamy off-white head that lasts for ages and leaves lots of lacing.
Aroma of bread, licorice, dark sugary malts and some spices. Flavor is very nice sugary sweet with spicy bitter in a delicate balance. Some more licorice and spices in the finish.
Lively carbonation ( for me a little bit to much ) and a creamy texture.
Great brew.
