Appearance - very dark brown, nearly black. Poured slowly the head is modest but poured more aggressively the head is very large. Not much lacing.
Smell - sweet malty smell with typical Belgian yeast bitter and dry effect, almost like white wine.
Taste - very heavily roasted flavor, like very dark coffee with a slight sweetness. Fruity Belgian yeast flavor on the way down.
Mouthfeel - not light but not heavy, coats the mouth with a residual syrup feel.
Overall - this is much better at a lukewarm temperature (~55F-65F) than straight out of the refridgerator (~40F). At colder temperatures the sweet character of the malts is overshadowed by the bitter (almost sour) flavors from the yeast. 3/5
