shared with friends poured into tulip glass. This is an exceptional beer brewed by people that understand just about everything anyone would ever need to know about beer. This is a big delicous beer with many amazing attributes. Drink it like you would that favorite bottle you were saving for the best of ocassions. Superlative in every conceivable way. When you are looking for a big luscious beer look no further.

UPDATED: NOV 8, 2010 This Beer is what all beers should taste like. I hate living in a state that does not offer this fine brew! This Belgian Ale is flavored to perfection. The color is a little light, but that means little as soon as you taste it. This beer is in my top 5. Highly recommend! I had to rate this a 5 it is my favorite beer!

Tremendous taste and a beer for appetizers or after a meal. I would recommend this to anyone but particularly those looking for something a little different.

Everything I love in a beer in one bottle. The bourbon character really gives this brew a push over the top. And the alcohol content doesn’t hurt either. Just an altogether satisfying experience. And so rich that you fell like you’ve eaten a meal.

I’ll have to try this one again, but currently ranks as the best beer I’ve ever had. We’ll see if it holds up after more tastings.

This is one of the few beers that I’ve had in recent years that has really knocked my socks off. The bourbon-oak-vanilla flavor marries perfectly with the sweetness of the triple. Why don’t more brewers do this?! An astonishingly tasty beer drinking experience, and a must-try beer for all Belgian ale fans.

Aroma of cabernet, oak. Appears orange-pink in color. Flavor is bouron and oak. Palate is effervescent, bubbly, appropriate. Overall, I found this experience to be absolutely sublime. I wish I had been in a position to do a proper rating.

UPDATED: APR 26, 2006 Bottle vintage 2004 9.5% sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours hazy orange\gold with a white head. Aroma of spices, yeast, citrus, fruit, and wood. Flavor is sweet, citrusy, the oak is very present, spicey, and smooth.
