Nov 20, 2008 11/8/08 notes: Always exciting when you get to try something as highly touted as this. Pours brown with floating yeast and a large, pearly head. Rich aroma of bread, yeast, caramel malt, brown sugar, and grains. Perhaps some dark fruit in there as well, such as raisins. Full-bodied flavor with rich nuttiness, sweet fruit, and intense bread/yeast. Mid-palate is very mellow, with a vinous sweetness. Finish features a lingering sweetness that is surprisingly fruity, with wood, alcohol, and malt. Beautiful blend.

Nov 20, 2008 ONE OF THE WORLDS BEST. A LOT OF COMPLEX SUGARS AND A HINT OF CARAMEL. I PERSONALLY LIKE THE 8 BETTER. FOR THE STYLE OF BEER OF BEER THOUGH I PREFER ST. BERNARDUS ABT 12 FOR BOTH TASTE AND COST VALUE.

Nov 2, 2008 Bottle, BB 27.08.13. Dark brown colour with a medium lasting tan head. Malty aroma with hints of plum and spices. The flavour is malt, pepper, plum, yeast and raisin with notes of alcohol. Quite full-bodied and smooth mouthfeel. Delicious brew.

Oct 31, 2008 Poors a great dark brown. A spicy aroma in the nose. Nice full head. Fabulous taste of caramel, malt, and nuts with a touch of wood. Warm and flavorful beer. Highly recommended.

Oct 26, 2008 Pours a huge creamy head with an almost black body. Faint aromas of cola and spice. Dry coffeish flavor with a malty finish. Good beer, but like St Bernardus’ rendition of the style much better because it is a much fruitier beer and less dry.
