4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
DDC is always great. Really rich robust flavorful quad with little to no evidence of the 10.5% abv. Lightly sweet and very nutty and raisiny.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Refrigerated 11.2 oz. brown bottle poured into a trappist glass. Pours translucent medium brown with small off-white head. Little lacing, thick body, medium/low carbonation, and light malt aroma. Taste is fairly complex rich caramel, molasses, some light herbal hops, and a hint of alcohol. Alcohol is pretty well covered, pretty easty to drink for the style, but hoped from more dark fruit. Better as it warms.

7th June 2011
Cloudy brown beer, small off white head. Light dry palate. Dry lactose sweetness. Whisper of chocolate. Trace of spice. Subtle sweet generic fruit. Finishes with more chocolate and a little spice. Decent.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Tastes like oatmeal raisin cookies with an intense sweet malty flavor and a signature Belgian carbonation that tickles the tongue. Drank from a tulip glass poured from a bottle.

From the 11.5 fl. oz. bottle with no dates or other markings that I can see. The pour is a dark brown with pretty good clarity. The aroma is powerful with dark barley malts, brown sugar, molasses, bread, yeast, and a little booze. The body is medium to bold. The taste is very much like a barleywine with its sweetness and potent malty character with a solid bitterness announcing itself loudly at the end. I should cellar another one and try it a year from now.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
14/12/2012 on tap @ GEIB (Vintage 2010). Color miele di castagno, un po’ spenta, con schiuma leggera, quasi assente, e poco persistente. Al naso sentori di malto caramellato, cioccolato, alcol, mela matura, ossidata. In bocca alcol, tanto alcol, caramello, zucchero di canna e frutta matura. Corpo medio-pieno, carbonazione leggera. Non in perfette condizioni, l’alcol si sente troppo.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours a dark brown. Aroma is malt and peppery. Flavor is a great blend of malts and finishes very well for the abv. Nice and interesting pepper profile.

2007 bottle drank this year the time in bottle did it well. I didn’t think this brew would do well with age but it did. It turned from a good brew to a great brew. Well worth the wait. All the heat melted away and all the flavored stayed. Great sipping brew
