Thanks to SeaBass for this one.

A: Pours a muddy brown hue with a very small head.

S: Sweet caramel, brown sugar, toffee, and mild dark fruits.

T: Very sweet yet tasty. All the candy sugars are there with brown sugar and toffee standing out. Mild tones of chocolate, caramel, and sweet summer fruits.

M: Fuller in body, rich, smooth, and sweet.

D: Good Thanks to SeaBass.

750 mL capped bottle, no date.

popped the cap, and it fizzed over. pours a clear chestnut brown. the bubbly head fades fast. the smell is a nice mix of slightly earthy Belgian yeast and bready malt. taste is bold yet smooth and easy drinking. good balance, starts biscuity and slightly sweet then finishes dry and a bit boozy. thin to medium body, higher carbonation. could be a little less fizzy.
overall - quite good, only the over carbonation is an issue.
