Warm, malt aroma with notes of amaretto and anise. Effervescent and medium to full bodied but not heavy or syrupy. Has an almost creamy texture. Toasted malt, alcohol and caramelized sugar dominate the flavor profile. Layers of toffee, dark fruit, cherry, banana, caramel and chocolate follow. Hints of fusel alcohol as it gets warm. On par with the best Belgian ales. bhensonb (4234), Woodland, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Bottle, jaargang 2006 (10%). Aroma of dark fruit, with a hint of vanilla. Deep reddish, ripe stone fruit color; the white head ringed immediately. Full bodied; mild, near creamy, carbonation. The flavor is non-sticky dark ripe fruits, with a bit of banana. The alcohol is detectable, but it does not interfere. The finish is relatively dry, something like dark cherry skins, and very, very smooth. Sips something like a decent port. Not at all harsh. Perhaps there is some floral hop. Really quite marvelous.
