Aug 6, 2009 [Bottle] Pours dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is big on alcohol and malt, with a lot of floral qualities that remind me of a greenhouse. Taste is caramel, malt undertones, raisin, a bit of red grape and some floral notes. Medium-thin mouthfeel with a good length finish. Overall, well made, but wasn’t quite as good as I had hoped that it would be.

Aug 3, 2009 It’s only taken me 10+ years to rate this standard. Pours a cloudy, dark brown color with a large, off white head. Very sweet aroma, dark brown sugar and dark fruits; raisins. Sliky smooth body, sweet candi sugar, graham crackers, spicy, yeasty. Roasted malts shine in the biting, carbonated finish. Not the most complex or interesting, but is well rounded and satisfying.

Aug 3, 2009 Pours dark mahogany with a nice head. Smells fruity and yeasty. Full-bodied with raisin, chocolate, and spicy flavors. Very complex; great beer...it is what it is...

Aug 2, 2009 Updated: Aug 18, 2009Dark muddy brown with tan head. Aroma of sugar, malt and bread. Dark fruit in the initial taste, then caramel and cinnamon. Mildly bitter finish.
Also tasted as Grand Reserve, methusela 25 of 25, on 17 August 2009, Birreria Paradiso. No discernable difference.

Aug 1, 2009 Poured thick and coppery with a thin white head. Aroma very light, citris, but body tasted thick and rich. Complex flavors here... more going on than my palate can name, but overall a very balanced and pleasing drink..

does not count  Jul 30, 2009 Very common beer, served out of a bottle, very sweet, they do a great job of hiding the alcohol content, but overall a very basic belgian ale.
