4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
This corked and caged bottled brew marked 2/08 lot 15 041 0830071 from a bottle shop poured a very large sized head of cascading beautiful foamy light brown colored very fine bubbles that were mostly lasting. Once it settled down, a very hazy body with a large amount of floating particulate in a very dark brown colored body was observed. There was a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was vinous with deep brown malty notes. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the vinous start and at the finish with a stronger vinous note in the aftertaste. The deep dark malt flavor was laced with alcohol. A decent one that I would consider buying again.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Dark brown with thick, creamy, off-whie head that stays around for a long time. Nose is more like a wine, brandy, or Armagnac. Surprising. I was expecting the nose to be sugar malt, but not at all. The taste is fruity and sweet...figs, dates, and brown sugar but not sickly. Slightly metallic taste.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark brown with a large beige head. Aroma is of brown sugar, yeast, bread, fig and raisin. Taste is of booze, raisin, brown sugar, caramel, and candy sugar.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Pours dark reddish brown with several inches of off-white head that settles down to about a half inch. Smells of cocoa and pit fruit. Tastes of raisins and chocolate with a good deal of sweetness behind it. Not sticky or cloying though and manages to finish nice and dry. Very smooth and the 12% abv is wholly unnoticed. This stuff is dangerous.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Incredibly easy to drink, be CAREFUL. Sweet, red fruit, bready no presence of alcohol at all! Again be CAREFUL. Food Pairing: bread pudding (and get a taxi!)
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
dark with a white lacing the high ABV is well hidden as most of these strong Belgium ales are. the Aroma reminds me of flowers and this is a nice hardy beer 750 ML bottle
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at Poechenellekelder in Brussels. Dark brown in color with a medium tan head. Aroma is malty with dark fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, fig/raisin, chocolate, candi sugar, and spices. Full and fairly creamy on the palate. Good stuff.
