On tap at the Vintage Estates, thanks Nuts. Very nice aroma, perhaps some alky strong intent on the olfactory.Slightly dark, but certainly not dark brown or black. Some haze is present. Nice lacing. Strongish wine or whisky flavors. Mild carbonation tickles the middle of the tongue.. Alky flavors not well hidden in this belgie brew, they intensify during the session. Odd spicey sensations trace each sip. Finish is whisky laced beer. Does not do homage to their abbey brown. DeadGuyFrank (347), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA

Karboneringen hjælper også i starten med at give et lille bid, så den står rigtig godt til en flæskesteg. ChristianScheffel (4481), Odense, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 31, 2007 Brown with a big off-white head. Deep malty aroma, with dried fruits and brown sugar. Sweet flavour, much dried fruit, malt, some port. fro2218 (466), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 26, 2007 A lot of malt and sweet bread. Also a lot of spice and citrus. Nice balance with the alcohol. pretty tasty. tronraner (1909), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 18, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark, bold red mahogany with beige head. The aroma is toffee, earth, mild spice, a hint of molasses, fig, and blue cheese. The flavor begins with a pretty serious earthiness, followed closely by toffee. A few raisin and prune notes jump out, and a very mild cigar taste emerges toward the finish. This is a pretty satisfying winter brew. wetherel (1589), Encinitas, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 15, 2007 Sept 24, 2005 bottle from El Cajon Liquor. Two year old bottle. I bought two and sent one as a bonus to nolankowal. Lot 24/09/05 G 08:05. Pour with little head that fades to a few small wisps on the surface of a dark amber liquid. Smell is a little of the age, cardboard, no hops. Not unpleasant though. Flavor leans toward the sweet side with caramel notes. A little zing, which might be from alchohol or something else. Past it’s prime, so I need to rerate. nearbeer (1834), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 13, 2007 25 cl, Lot # 06-09-08 G. Slightly cloudy chestnut color with a large, lasting creamy head. Aroma is spicy earthy molasses. Flavor is caramel, toffee, earth-funk, spiced raisins, molasses, slight chocolate and rummy alcohol. Slight bubblegum in aftertaste. Palate is light-medium, mostly smooth and a little dry. Best... Corsendonk... ever.
