bottle thanks to zinister, shared at August Tasting at my place. pours a dark brown with a tan head. Nose is of shoe polish, spice, toffee and dark fruit. Taste is of malt with toffee. Mouthfeel is medium with alcohol noticeable. pretty decent.

Julio’s Belgian Beer Festival. Sample. By the time I got to this one I was seeing double. Rating it to keep track but don’t have any particulars.

Houston Tasting August. Pours a murky dark mahogany brown. Good head with nice lacing. Aroams of spice, oranges, caramel and oak. Flavor is dark fruit, toffee and a bit of bourbon. Medium bodied and full flavored. Very tasty.

Bottle. Pours with a largish, tan head over a hazy hazelnut hued body. A few alcohol legs, but light lacing. Aroma is raisin, toffee, chocolate, and alcohol. Taste is toffee, alcohol, fig and brandy. Very hot, with a lot of fusel, creamy bubbles.

dark brown in color, aroma of hoppy spices. very pungent. flavor was balanced with the sweetness expected from a quad and a bitterness from the hops

750ml corked bottle, probably closet aged for the better part of a year. Deep opaque cherry-brown, with a patchy head. Rugged cognac aroma makes me wonder if aging wasn’t the way to go. Surprisingly mellow, malty and smooth with a rich underbelly of pungent dark fruit. Id really guess some oxidation is at work, causing off aromas..this is probably superb fresh. Inescapably boozy, with a sweet sugary alcohol-rich finish. As previously stated, probably hasn’t improved with age. Still always interesting to have a 10% beer that is considered on the mellow side of the style.

Clear reddish brown of color with a foamy beige head. An aroma of spice and dark fruits, weak sweets. A flavor of dark fruits, raisins, dry and spice.

The pour on this abt is a deep ruby brown. Head generates plenty of lacing and a variety of bubble sizes. Aromas of light caramel and sweet, ripe pit fruit -- dates, figs, plums. The alcohol cuts through the finish, making a sweet beer taste even sweeter. The beer mellows a little after being open, but the operative at work is a not unnatural, but very cloying palate. Some nice herbal, lavender notes that could have been carried forward save the taste.
