Mar 20, 2009 Bottle, bought @ Willems, Grobbendonk.
Pours deep, muddy red-brown. A great, staying, frothy, off-white head. Sweet malty ans yeasty aroma. There is chocolate, caramel, toffee, bready and some raisins. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet with quite a lot of dry hops to boot. There is chocolate, lots of raisin and plums. There is some raspberries in here, light tartness and good sweetness. This is a beer that will be stunning with a year or two on it. As it is now, it is still very good!

Mar 15, 2009 2006 bottle, courtesy Retorp. Pours thick reddish brown, with prominent lacing a big frothy white head. Nose has massive amounts of delicious rich fruits, brown sugar, a big yummy dark ripeness. Flavor is very complex, with rich incredible dark sugars, molasses and tons of spices. Full-bodied, very drinkable, and has aged very well. I’m angry at myself for not trying this before.

Feb 12, 2009 Dated July 06. A dark dark brown color, nearly black with age and some light brown bits of yeast sli pin. Two fingers of huge light tan head let me know this one is probably still right. The aroma is malty sweetness, licorice, some pit fruits, lightly spicy. Taste is big fruitiness, some blueberries, prunes, caramel, wood, more licorice, figs. I had low expectations...this one was great.

Jan 9, 2009 (330 ml bottle, marked 12/08, from Julio’s Liquors, cellared for 8 mos. after purchase) Sort of hot and fruity...Pours dark brown with a rather large tannish head. Aroma is sweetish, with notes of brown sugar, raisin, dark fruit and alcohol. Mouthfeel is soft but sort of thin. Flavor of dark fruit, brown sugar, raisin and alcohol. Although there is some complexity the flavor profile seems to be lacking something.
