Jan 5, 2010 0.33 L bottle from Systembolaget. A yellow-shaded, mostly diminishing blond head, over a misty, red-golden body. Fresh and fruity yeast aroma, oranges, plums and ripe red berries. A note of caramel and burnt sugar, and a faint whiff of alcohol. Taste is medium sweet, with a light acidic accent. Light malty and quite spicy, with some delicate fruit tones, and a mild peppery bitterness. Full body. A pleasant alcohol warmth in the ending. Good stuff.

Dec 28, 2009 11.5oz bottle from 16th St.Liquor in West Van. Cloudy orange brown body with a thick, tan head. Lovely lacing smooth bubbles. Smells like a Flemish sour with some fruit and a very powerful malt back. Taste is big and citrusy, cherries, figs, chocolate, licorice. Aftertaste is sour cherries and chocolate. Wonderfully full palate, complex and lingering. This is a very special treat compared to some of the other bottles I rated tonight.

Dec 26, 2009 Hard caramels, rum, and Champagne vinegar nose. Murky amber/brown color, thick but small soapy head, great lacing. Intense cola sweetness hits right away, tart bitterness for balance. Tight carbonation, medium body with a rich full mouth feel, finish is intense rum with big alcohol warming. The kind of beer that just wraps you up in its big flavors and makes you feel cozy.

Dec 26, 2009 Pours a rich, clear brown with some sediment and a light, off white head. Some belgian funk in the aroma, as well as some fruit. Taste is that of a complex dark strong ale. Same funk from the aroma is present, as well as some citrus-y hops, a dark malt and some alcohol burn. This was perfect as an end of the day beer.
