It's been about a month since I've had the real thing. I recall the real beer being a little drier than mine. And I recall drinking earlier versions of Dark Truth and being able to detect a slight Belgian character, but I haven't in more recent bottles, and I don't in mine either.
Very little to no hop aroma. Mostly chocolate. Coffee. I'd say this is in the ballpark in terms of flavor, appearance, and aroma.
