Feb 8, 2009 2008 bottle. Colour is between amber and reddish. Aroma is a bit like too old fruits and earth at first, but after a while (while bear warms and breaths a bit) it gets better. Flavor is well balanced and full, with taste of alcohol and hints of fruits.

Jan 31, 2009 Pours a cloudy ruby color with 3 fingers of light brown head. Aroma is malt, bread, candi-sugars, belgian yeasts and spices. Flavor is belgian yeasts, candi sugars, dark fruits, bread. Very active carbonation with tiny bubbles tingle giving this a nice mouthfeel. Decent quad, a little hot and harsh but I still enjoyed this one.

does not count  Jan 29, 2009 The View
Amber color beer topped with nice with foam coating.
The fine bubbles are supporting the foam in a nice way.
The beer has probably filtered because it very clear.
The smell
Rose flowers and fresh baked bread, sweet herbs and citrus
Taste
Spicy start rather sweet warm moth feeling because of the alcohol,
nice bitter that once the beer has been swallowed is long and nice.

Jan 29, 2009 Koenigs Hoeven Abt bottle pours a glowing dark caramel brown with a 2 finger beige head that has great retention and leaves lacing. Aroma is belgian yeast, citrus, weak dark fruits, green apples, and a little caramel. Flavor is huge on alcohol, sweet apple, straw, grassy hops, earth, dry leaves, dark caramel, butterscotch, fruity esters, vanilla bean, sweet grainy malt. Finish is caramel covered toasted grain and freuit with a hint of grass and low bitterness. Palate is sweet and thick at first, leading to a more thin and dry experience. Does not hide alcohol content that well for the style.
