Cave Aged? Wow!!!! I think my bottle was refridgerator aged at Holiday Wine Cellars. But it was still fantastic stuff. Aromas of brown sugar, molassas, and fruit. Flavors were very sweet with sugar cane and more maltiness like caramel. Very tasty stuff.

Wicked tastey brew. Pours a deep dark brown colour with a full sized head. fairly sweet and heavily carbonated. Prevalent nutty character, milk chocolate, caramel, and raisin on the palate. Aroma is fruity, ginger-bread cookies, cinnamon and brown sugar on the nose.

Deep, murky mahogany. Nose deeply sweet, plums, sugars, port, and grapes. Flavor is nicely sweet, some molasses and plums, lots of candy sugar. Hints of nuts and mild roasty bitterness, pleasingly fluity and rich, lovely kiss of chocolate at the end. Full and chewy, nice mouthfeel. Definitely a beer that has to be sipped at the proper temperature, sampled too cold it has a bit of an astringent bitterness, but at the proper temp it’s just lovely.

750 mL bottle. Pours dark rust color with large beige head. The aroma is fruity, with banana, prune, tamarind, and some spicy clove hints. The flavor is sweet dark fruits with a sharp yeasty spiciness. The finish is dull chocolate, alcohol, and a little bit of licorice. Pretty easy to drink, even if a little bit uninspired.

Nice. Had at room temperature but should be a little cooler IMO. Very good with a little alcohol bite in the finish. Impressive Belgian from the US.

A deep brown beauty for color with copious foam in the trappist glass - thick and tan head, with wonderful lacing. Aroma is licorice, toffee, caramel and milk chocolate. Fizzy when it first hits the palate, but after letting it sit for about 15 minutes, the fizz subsided and the malts became superstars. Flavor is toffee and licorice, caramel, fresh bread, tobacco leaves, figs and plantains. Finish is tobacco and dry chocolate. This is liquid candy.

Hazy reddish brown, moderate head with solid lacing and retention. Aroma is raisin, sugar, yeast, various darker fruits. Sorta like a Dubbel.
