201 Bottle. Poured dark, strong malty aroma, chocolate, dark fruits, really enjoyable brew.

Sampled a 2005 vintage at a bottle share. Very mellow. Lots of spice and sugar notes. A little too viscous. It is a nice winter warmer. Now I need to try a newer edition.

At a tasting, thanks Ariel, pours an orange to brown with a medium head, aroma of toffee, honey and nuts, flavor off caramel, nuts and cherries, quite zesty with a medium bodied, nice

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2012 Bottle. Dark brown colour with a tan head. Fruity and deep sweet nose. Massive flavour with dark fruits, caramel, spices and some alcohol

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks Ariel. Clear brown color. Aroma of malt, caramel, molasses, dark fruits and a bit of sweet spices. Sweet malty fruity flavor with some yeast and spicy notes. Medium-bodied. Decent.

Bottle @mondial de la biere, an amber brown beer with nice chocolate and caramel nose. Aroma is vinous, caramel malt, sweet, vanilla sweets, very pleasant, alcohol is well hidden, a very good one.

Provad för julen 2009 så flaskan var ett år gammal vilken gjort den gott. Till stil en stark belgisk ale. Sötman och alkoholen matchar varandra väl. Söta äpplen, honung och jästtoner.

large fizzy offwhite head. gl. fd. sparkling flat average brownish-black body. aroma: heavy malty, mild coffee, cask wood, coke. if and ff: moderate sweet light bitter; long duration. palate: medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation light astringent finish. forte gosto café e chocolate, lembra stout e nao BSA, até é saborosa, mas tem poucas características do estilo, entre elas o aquecimento alcoólico que apareceu já no segundo gole, junto com um suave sabor de frutas secas, mas ainda permeado pela forte presença do estilo supracitado, aos poucos a impressão acima diminui a intensidade, mas sem sumir, nuances de vinho tinto seco no paladar, inclusive com taninos pululando na boca, cerveja complexa, que engana no principio e depois vai mostrando suas facetas, um dos paladares que mais evoluíram até hoje, tendo duas ou três interpretações distintas, gosto frutas vermelhas, sente-se também a forte presença dos 9% no paladar, 190 s

Bottle, capped 750, from Oak Tree. Pours dark copper/amber with a transient beige head. Mild spice aroma. Very fruity. Some herb/spice. Seems to have red berry. Mysterious, but nice.

Bottle shared by bhensonb. Pours reddish brown with a thin beige head that disappears in seconds. There is an oaky spiced aroma and a fruity herbal flavor with a dry slightly bitter mecidinal finish.
