UPDATED: DEC 31, 2021 On-tap at Eureka! Irvine on 30th December 2021. Last beer of a very pleasant two hours sat at the bar. Dark, moody looking beer, the head a beige wisp and collar; came too cold and therefore had no aroma at first, cupped the glass in my hands to try and warm it up a bit, malty coffee esters arrived alongside some toffee and sultana like aromas eventually. The taste was also malt dominated and again there was a toffee and raisin/sultana twist to the brew. The experience was ruined by the coldness of the pour, shame really as it got better and better as it warmed, but my lift was waiting, so I had to rush it.

UPDATED: JUL 13, 2021 Fairly mild yet interestingly complex aroma of prune, bread, raisin, earthy spiciness, and toffee. Pours a dark amberish brown with small bubbly off white head Strong malty and yeast flavor of raisin, prune, charred woody roastiness and an earthy spiciness. Medium full bodied with medium co2, lingering spice in finish. Enjoyable dark Belgian. A bit more on the roasty side than I would prefer for this though, hides the fruity dark malt character that I like to taste.

UPDATED: DEC 17, 2020 Nice raisiny aroma, chocolate, biscuit, very light iron, brown sugar. Clear dark brown to black color with minimal sized brown head, sweet taste, biscuit, raisin, chocolate, blackberry, some alcohol. Thin to medium body, lively carbonation, sweet fruity finish, heavy oatmeal, nice.

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2020 Pours dark brown almost black. Medium sized head that slowly dissipates. Either my nose is bad or there’s not much happening in the aroma. Medium body. Starts with some bitterness. Gives way to raises taste. Finishes with a little stickiness

UPDATED: OCT 28, 2019 Fat @ Liquid Gold. Mörkbrun öl med ett lätt smutsvitt skum. Doft och smak av malt, karamell, torkad frukt, fikon och alkoholsötma

UPDATED: OCT 27, 2019 Lekko zawód, spodziewałem się więcej. Ale złe nie było. W aromacie trochę kawy, czuć rodzynki, trochę alkoholowe, drożdżowe. Piwo bardzo ciemne, dość gęste, oblepia szkło trochę, drobne do średnich pęcherzyków. W smaku dość słodkie, rodzynkowe, troszeczkę czuć drożdże, nieco alkoholowe, więc podobnie jak w aromacie. Przyjemny posmak, trochę musuje na podniebieniu, średnio wysycone. Ogółem całkiem przyzwoite piwo, ale można było liczyć na więcej.

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2019 W aromacie drożdże, słodycz, rodzynki, czuć też niestety alkohol. W smaku słodkie, czuć rodzynki, alkohol całkiem nieźle ułożony.

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2019 W aromacie drożdże, kawa, suszone owoce. W smaku wyraźne rodzynki, drożdże, mocno belgijsko, alko trochę czuć. Rozczarowanie

UPDATED: OCT 8, 2019 Dark brown color. Big, white head . Raisins, toasted caramel, yeasts and dark fruits in the aroma. Moderately sweet with warming ending.

UPDATED: OCT 7, 2019 28-09-19 // bottle shared at Mon Petit Cafe Suttgart on Zwanze Day 2019. Murky brown. Sweet raisin nose. Yes belgian quad but not too belgian. Has the american touch. Raisins all the way. Touches of vanilla. Good.
