Appearance - Deep, dark brown. Slightly hazy. Rocky, tan, creamy head.
Flavor - Dry and slightly sweet bready malt. Beautiful arrangement of prunes, cherries, raisins, and plums. Hints of peppery phenols. Smooth alcohol presence that cuts the sweetness of the malt and accentuates the fruity flavors. No hop flavors, just a slight bitterness. Very smooth and harmonious.
Mouthfeel - High carbonation, slight prickle on the tongue. Several seconds after you take a swig, you feel the alcohol warmth at the back of the palate and down into your gut.
Overall Impression - Very nice Belgian Strong Dark Ale. Tons of complexity; my palate probably doesn't do it justice. Lots of dark stone and dried fruits. Very easy to drink at its 9% ABV, dangerous for sure.
