Oct 17, 2009 Drank it just two hours after bottle was turned upside down during travel home. Murky mahogany appearance; clouded by bottle yeasts but who care? I was happy to HAVE those yeasts! Great head! Impeccable balance and ’CLASSIC’ Belgian notes. Nuances of dried stone fruits, chocolate. Deep malty background with distinguished fruity ester notes in aroma! Outstanding! Wish I could afford to drink two of THESE everyday...

Oct 15, 2009 Dark brown and highly carbonated, hardly any head. Aroma is very deep and complex. In order of decreasing prominence: Dark fruit, alchohol, leather, cigar smoke, licorice/aniseed. Ripe fruit is more prominent in flavour. Vanilla becomes present. Very thick and warming. Alcohol becomes slightly cloying. Idealy it should be consumed with/as a desert.

Oct 13, 2009 100th RATING!! i am a virgin to this holy beer and have waited a while for this one. it is not disappointing me at all!! Pours a deep, dark murky brown with lots of yeasty floaties and a nice beige head. aroma of alcohol, raisins, plums, pears, prunes, and the list goes on. tastes mostly like the smell minus the alcohol is well hidden until the somewhat burn of a swallow. notes of vanilla, flavored malts, and figs also. wonderfully balanced and super smooth. lives up to the hype for sure!!

Oct 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours chocolate brown with nice tan head. Aromas of fruit and wine with a faint alcohol hint. Flavors very rich, sweet raisin and fruit, with a bit of alcohol burn. Gentle bitter aftertaste, but lots of sweet, too. Thick, velvety mouthfeel. Looks great and tastes great too.
