Mar 19, 2009 Bottle, 750ml. Date reads 08.04.28. Pours dark opaque ruby brown, thin off white head. Aroma is musty, tangy, malty. Flavor is sweet grapes, slight vinegar, malt, caramel, syrupy. Too sweet for me, but I could see some people really getting into this one.

Mar 9, 2009 Had a very sweet and malty aroma. Noticed some light coconut in the flavor along with some fruit and more smooth malt. Very smooth overall and well blended. Still on the sweet side but I could understand this sweetness and how it fit the beer.

Mar 6, 2009 An over rated beer to my taste. Just a bit too much of everything....
The high alcohol content is well felt.

Mar 2, 2009 Brewed in Belgium....... Pours a med-brown color with a thin off white head. Aroma of fruits, orange peel and malts. The taste is very interesting, super sweet candy, caramel, cherries and figs. The mouthfeel is really sweet, but don’t let that fool you because the alcohol burn is right behind all that sweetness. So watch out for the sugar rush !!!

Mar 1, 2009 Shared by BeerGestapo, thanks Mike. A 2007 vintage. Dark reddish brown in color topped by a khaki head. Smells sweet and malty, has spicy yeast undertones. It tastes like candy at first sip. As your tongue becomes acclimated to the sweetness lots of fruitiness emerges, fig, raisin, orange, and cherry. The finish was relatively dry, a nice contrast to the initial sweetness, with a good deal of cherry flavor. It was very complex though the alcohol was apparent every step of the way. Good but needs something to put it on the verge of greatness.
