Feb 20, 2009 On tap at Capones. Poured a deeper and cloudy/muddy brownish color wih virtually no head. Aromas of dark fruits (prunes and raisins) and fruity. Tastes of the same dark fruitiness (plums and raisins), caramel, toffee, and some lighter spiciness. All around on the sweeter side. Lighter alcohol in the finish.

Feb 16, 2009 I’ve been sitting on an ’07 of this for a year and decided to open it up last night to share with my beer cronies. Colour was a dark amber. The nose.... oh sweet spirits of the spice world! Can you say boiled sweets?! The palate... Creamy, melodious, Leopold Stokowski on hydrocodone, faint butyl esters, dark fruits, citron, toffee, fino sherry, and it all comes together for a delightfully warming looooooong finish!

Feb 13, 2009 Millésimé 2008 et dégusté à l’autre oeil dans un verre de gouden carolus. Apparence brune ambré rougeâtrre légèrement cuivré et ayant peu de mousse. Arômes sucré de date,mélasse, sucre brun, caramel, noisette, levure fraiche et vanille bourbon. Goût de sirop d’érable, thé glacée, vanille bourbon avec un léger goût de levure légèrement salé. Bien gazéfier et ronde en bouche. Quelle bière! Je vie un autre moment de plénitude...

Feb 10, 2009 Opened to celebrate my 1st ratebeer.com anniversary. 2008 Vintage. Pour is a clear nice mahogany colored head with a big puffy three fingers of light tan head. Banana, clove aromas, some candi sugar, prunes, and alcohol then some slight sherry like oxidation. Taste is fantastically sweet, smooth, lots of malts, prunes, lightly spicy, raisin and caramel, with a sneaky warming alcohol finish.

Feb 8, 2009 Beautiful Belgian strong ale, caramel, pear, banana, clove, toffee, and just a touch of ginger. Perfectly balanced, silky, rich body, and a very long, satisfying aftertaste. This would be in a leaguewith westvleteren if only it were a bit drier. Still, wonderful stuff.
