Pours a murky brown with a ruby tint. It has a big lightly foamy white head that leaves behind a sheet of small sticky lacing. The aroma is lightly sweet and a little yeasty. The taste is much the same. It has a lighter body and is lightly carbonated.

Poured from 330 ml into snifter.
A: Pours a medium brown with 3-4 finger fluffy off white head. Long lasting retention and plenty of lacing. Gushed all of the counter when I opened it, but smells and tastes OK.
S: Raisin, dates, dark fruits, and sweet caramel. Some Belgian yeast esters.
T: Dark fruits and cherries, candy sugar.
M: Suprisingly light body. Tons of carbonation. Subtle sweet finish.
O: Tasty brew and very easy drinking. Fairly expensive for the ABV. Think I will stick to more Belgian Strong Dark Ales.
