Pours a blackberry brandy color with a thin off-white head. Aromas noticed are mainly fruit, with cherries coming through the most. Main flavors noticed are cherry, plum, clove, and a little yeast....all with sweet and sugary malt backbone behind it, with a little alcohol in the finish. Good complexity here. Alcohol warmth becomes more pronounced as the beer warms. With the exception of the alcohol, this beer is not too heavy in the mouth, but I probably couldn't drink more then one in a sitting. Another good one by Ommegang.

Appearance: Hazy, dark copper/reddish color with two fingers of off-white head that fades with a thick curtain of lace.

Aroma: Thick, syrupy sweetness, with molasses. raisin, ripe fruit and roasted malt in the background. Some estery alcohol mixes in and out.

Taste: Thick, creamy and sweet up front, with lots of ripe fruit and some yeastyness. The malt presence builds, with a nice toasted, nutty taste leading to the finish, where there's more cherry-syrup sweetness and a lingering caramel candy aftertaste.

The Rest: De-li-cious. A bomber of this is the perfect evening companion to relax and enjoy life.
