Nose is sweet phenolic alcohol with some spice at the end. Can certainly taste the alcohol. and rest of taste is sweetness, underlied by a roasted malt. Thin to Medium body. Alcohol way too palpable. grandgenie (252), gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 27, 2009 Acheté à la SAQ en format de 330ml millésimé 2008 et dégusté dans le verre de maredsous. De couleur brune orangé ambré sans effervescence avec une mousse persistante au verre. Arômes coplexes de chocolat, café, légèrement poivré, malté, une touche de vanille et de date. Un goût de caramel, de chocolat amère avec un finis crémeux. Je peux aussi rajouter un goût de fruits mûres. Belle équilibre! FatPhil (3467), Espoo, Finland

Anna says: Fairly deep reddish-brown. Served cold but presented a slightly brownish aroma even early on, with a bit of caramel. Fairly malty taste carries some alcohol well. Esters - some darkish fruit. Mirjukka thinks perhaps figs. At the beginning, swallowing leaves a
little sour tingle. A little more alcohol near the end. Unusually,
Phil did not share this. hayduke (1629), Eureka, California, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 23, 2009 Tap at Lucky Baldwin’s. Doesn’t impress me like a Rochefort. Has the fruit qualities, the floury patina, the seamless balance, but the flavors aren’t pronounced. Nice aroma of sweet water, light malt. Brian at the bar has a very sentimental connection with this one, and I don’t blame him. Grossecaisse (108), France
