Bottle 3174 out of 3200. Problematically purchased through a chain of friends from Switzerland, but it was well worth it. Third one tasted from the Abstrakt line for me and finally a hit. Aroma sweet fruity, honey, caramel, red apples, very light vanilla (I probably would not notice if I did not know it was added). Lightly hazy amber colour. Taste pleasant, very TASTY, nice belgian character, fruity, honey. Silky smooth mouthfeel, easily drinkable. Alcohol hidden very well. Finish is a bit mild compared to taste, but never mind. The aging went well for this one. Nice experience.

Bottled. The bottles we tasted was 3-4 years old. Bottled in 2010. Aroma of belgian ales. Taste is sweet sugar, warming alcohol, malt. Alcohol is present but warming. Carbonation is low. Easy to drink but beware! A very tasty beer.

A - Copper-orange with a finger of off-white head. Fades fairly quickly. S - Dark caramel malts, raisins, figs, other dark fruits, vanilla, Belgian yeast, clove, other spices, some booze. T - Sweet dark caramel malts, raisins, dates, other dark fruits, vanilla, candi sugar, Belgian yeast, clove, pepper, and other spices, and some booze. M - Medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth with a sweet, warming, lightly spicy finish. D - Great Quad. The vanilla is a nice touch, great balance and mouthfeel.

Probably a bit past it’stime but still a decent beer Quite clear looking and a decent white head. Lots of rich, dark fruit smell and taste but a growing, earthy sherry quality as well. Hence the past it’s prime remark. Group thought very close to a Westy 12 .

Bottle thanks to thirdeye11. The look is clear, white head, and copper in color. The smell is pineapples, fruits, nice, yeast, and more fruit. The taste is fruits, hops, and yeast.

Corked bottle from Cgarvieuk. Amber color. Faded hops and dried fruit in the aroma. Alcoholic flavor, low on carbon. Remains of dried fruit, red fruit, vanilla cake. Upcoming sherry flavors. Probably past its peak.
