Woh, is this packed full of esters or what?!? Not a bad aroma, and a pleasant rich brown appearance. Alas, when it gets into your mouth things turn downhill rapidly. It’s basically just glue. Glue, glue, glue, glue, and more glue. Yes, it is very thick and viscous, so much so, you can use it to hold up your wallpaper.

Jan 31, 2009 0.75 l bottle at Konttori, Tampere. Dark brown color with vanishing head. Very raisiny and plummy aroma with sweet madeira wine, licorice and coffee. Sweet surprisingly thick raisin and plum flavor with madeira, figs, chocolate, pineapple, grapefruit, warming alcohol and chewy toffeish maltiness. Very thick and viscous for a belgian style ale. Tasty complex brew, it would be nice to age this.

Jan 25, 2009 Thanks to BrewerB, I think I had this once before at Port/Lost Abbey but I sure don;t remember it being this tasty. I was actually surprised how much I liked this but then I remembered my experience with Lost and Found. Dark brown, minimal bubbles, smells good, malty, licorice, raisin, brown sugar. Tastes like grapes and syrup, in a good way. A little harder to drink as it was viscous like a stout.

Wow what a beer. Aroma, flavor, finish this was a beer that just had it all. Huge in every part did I mention. The fruit flavors and malts, hops and yeast flavors where so yummy. Spices and chocolate this was the beer to start the new presidency with.

Jan 23, 2009 Dark brown colored with hazy appearance. Little brown head. Strongly sweet aroma with dominating licorice, pineapple and raisins, vinous touch and milk chocolate here too. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is not as sweet with licorice here still, mild raisins also with hopped touch. Aftertaste dries nicely with raisins and mild alcohol still. Excellent brew.
