ABV: 8.0%
IBU:
Serving Type: 33cL bottle poured into a St. Bernardus chalice
Murky and brown like the 6, maybe a little lighter. The head pours off-white and maintains at a little under a finger. Ok lacing. Nice Belgian aroma, with plum and raisin. Puts me in the mind of jam spread over just barely toasted bread.
Flavor fills the whole mouth with just a sip. Taste is a lot of raisin and maybe a hint of cherry. There's also a pleasent brown sugar sweetness. Not at all bitter. A noticeable alcohol warmth. Very creamy mouthfeel paired with a prickly carbonation.
Nice overall, though I think my preference so far is for the 6. There's just not much here to balance the sweetness, and it can almost border on cloying.
My score: 3/5
Beer Advocate: 92/100
Rate Beer: 96/100
Pintley: 4/5
