From a 750mL Bottle. Dark, cloudy, amber pour with a thin layer of white head. Barleywine-like, bourbony aromas of fig and woody spice. Some soft vanilla and caramelized sugar accompany. Very interesting aromas playing well off of each other. Full bodied, smooth mouthfeel. The belgian flavors come off storngly at first, highlighting some nice caramels and yeasty spice. Some sweet, bourbony notes follow with some figgy malty spice. Quite a unique, tasty treat.

Feb 6, 2008 2003 vintage 750ml bottle. Murky amber color with an off white head. Vinous, woody sweet aroma is complex. Med body with light carbonation. Nice sugary sweet, sour vinous, earthy, wood, spicy flavors are a Byzantine blend same as in the aroma. Has a subtle herbal hop bite to finish. Pretty damn good. 81005

Nov 21, 2006 Beer 56 at the party. This is very thick for the style, but full of mouthfeel. A nice strong beer, hard to think of as a triple, since it has molasses characters to it, like a barleywine. Strange!
