750 mL bottle shared by kiefdog. Wow. Big sweetness and flavor in this one. Pours a dark brown/ amber color with a creamy off-white head. Sweet caramel, sugar, bourbon, alcohol, and cinnamon in aroma. Very syrupy mouthfeel with sugar in the flavor and finish, along with all of the qualities listed in the aroma. Very distinguished quad.

Bottle shared by alexadad06. Poured a cloudy brown color with a large frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate tart citrus and brown sugar aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture and fizzy carbonation. Heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good complex brew.

75cl bottle from New Bayview Liquors (Boston, MA). Pours a dark brown to black with a one finger tan head. Aroma is sweet dark fruit, caramel, honey, some phenol. Flavor is much of the same with maple syrup-like flavors and sweet, slightly roasted malt. Generally syrupy mouthfeel and full body with a long sweet finish.

2006 Vintage Publick House Bottle, via trade guessing one of my ny trading buddies, whoever it was, thanks. Pours dark brownish red with a tan ring. Nose is sweet with touches of raisans. Taste is sweet, with a deep vinious quality. The booze is there, to a degree, but its well aged, and quite tasty.

Bottle from puzzl. Thanks Andy. After removing the cage and prying out the firmly seated cork, this poured a deep red to amber color with virtually no head. Nose of sweet caramel malts and ripe fruit. Very greasy mouthfeel more like port wine than beer. Flavor is quite sweet, with raisins. Finish is long, sweet and full of malts. Kind of a sipping beer, but was as good at the finish as at the end. Overall very nice.

750ml - Poured a quite dark, clear reddish amber in color with a medium bright white head that settled to that creamy covering over the beer. Some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is brown/candied sugar and sweet caramel malts. Flavor is quite sweet with lots of dark fruit (raisins and prunes) ,but some lighter fruit (apples, berries) as well. Finish is sweet and lingering. Lacks some of the Belgian Abbot yeastiness that this style typically has, but I really like it a lot... excellent beer!
