bottle. pours a brown coloured body with a small ring of off-white head and small specks of yeast floating around. the aroma is pleasing and interesting with strong fruit notes...pear and berries, specifically. quite sweet with lots of that fruit coming through in the flavour and a soft yeasty texture. mildly tart but balanced off by the sweet pears. perhaps a little bit of bitter chocolate in the finish. very good

Jan 19, 2010 Stumbled across a couple bottles from 2007. What a lush strong Belgian ale, perfect for a cold night and I’m sure the age did some great things to this beer. Pours a mottled reddish brown color with slow carbonation, a frothy tan head, and streaky lacing. Dark cherries, earthy yeast and a wonderful musty/sweaty odor that takes this aroma to a new level. Nicely blended, very mellow with a rich malt body. Filling and the beer rolls back with a calm sweetness. Overly ripe grape and berry flavor with nutty bread and funky yeast mixed in. A drawn out spicy characteristic adds more depth.
