Apr 4, 2008 330 ml bottle. Dark ruby red. Light haze. Lots of carbonation. Yeasty nose with a hint of marzipan. Ripe green grapes. Some fusels. Medium-sized white head that clings to the glass. Rich malt flavour with warming alcohol. Thick texture with quite a lot of residual sugars. Münchener malts. Notes of caramel and black pepper. More marzipan, but not as much as seen in earlier samples. Overall a very rich Belgian strong ale.

Apr 1, 2008 Foam Rangers tasting. Deep amber with small head. Nose of pitted fruits, malts and nuts. Flavor is the same, with yeast flavors added for good measure. Good body and nice finish.

Apr 1, 2008 (3/13/08) Bottle at Arendsnest in Amsterdam. Deep amber with a quickly-disappearing small white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, dried fruits (raisins and some prunes), a bit of yeast and spices and a bit of alcohol. Sweet flavor with malt, some spicy yeast and lots of fruits. Medium to full body. Good but not great.

Mar 30, 2008 Bottle. Dark amber color which hazes if you pour the abundant sediment. Fairly small head, but it sticks to the glass. Lovely aroma of figs. Sweetish and extremely potent with lovely, fruity ale-esters. Notes of chocolate, nuts, figs, dates, caramel - all the goodies. Lovely beer.

Mar 29, 2008 August orange amber with an amazingly perfect 1" thick creme fraiche browned head that clings the sides of the glass. Unique, piquant esteriness with some medicinal/cleaning fluid notes mixed in to complicated the buzz.

Mar 27, 2008 750 ml bottle. This beer pours a dark amber, with a small head. It has a strange smell, hard to distinguish. The first time I had it, thought it tasted like good sewer water. Upon second try, it had an odd first sip, but it mellowed upon warming. It has some basic similarities to really great beers, and is so close to being one, but there is a flavor that is either there, or missing that makes this beer just miss the mark for me.
