75 cl bottle, Grande Réserve (2007). One of the best beers I ever had. A nice taste of raisins, soy, chocolate and coffee. Sweet and warming alcohol. (4,3)
Jan 25, 2008; 33 cl bottle at Pitcher’s Pub, Karlstad, Sweden (2007 version). Dark brown colour with at thin white head. Malty aroma with chocolote, coffe, raisins and sugar. Sweet flavor with fruit in the background. (4,5)
Jan 31, 2008: Had the 1999 version. It was a very nice experience. Matured plums, portwine/madeira, some brown sugar, raisins and some soy sauce together with broth(?). Very, very nice experience but to be honest I think it was better a couple of years ago.
June 18, 2008: (2007 version) This is still a very good beer, but unfortunly I did’nt find it that amazing this time. I prefer a Rochefort 8 every day over this one. I don’t say this isn’t high quality though. Probably need too store a couple of these, even though I like the fresh ones. They need to "rest" standing a couple of weeks before drinking though... otherwhise they explode spreading beer all over the appartment. (4,3)

Aug 12, 2008 Nice dark brown color with thick cream and tan head. Besides the expected dry fruit and malt aroma, their was a hint of brightness, floral or raspberry, and little overt alcohol taste. Well balanced flavor, smooth with a sweet finish that seemed unbeerlike, but enjoyable. Happy to serve again.
