Jan 7, 2009 Pours a murky dark ice tea color, with an off white head that has a slight hue of brown. Smells consist of, prune, fig, and bread along with some raisin and booziness. Taste is very sweet and consists of dark fruits, bread , and caramel.

Jan 7, 2009 750, tried many times on draft and bottle. Huge pour with crazy tall white head that laces and stays. Dark but light-cutting brown. Huge rising flavor that is slightly metallic, robust and effervescent. High carbonation that bitters a touch. Flavor is a bit light and watery for the aim. Transcendent and essential.

Jan 6, 2009 Poured brown with a reddish tint and a big, fluffy off-white head with nice thick lacing. Sweet malt with fig and caramel notes. Well balanced, well made beer. Yum.

does not count  Jan 5, 2009 Sweet aroma with heavy undertones. Flavor is front-loaded and hits with a very slight bite. Shifts to a more brown sugar, metallic, caramel and spice (and, I swear, bubble gum!) that starts heavy and floats away. Huge head.

Jan 5, 2009 Pours a deep dark maroon with a nice off white head with nice lacing. Aroma of malt, dark ripe fruits such as plum, and candy sugar. Very smooth and balanced taste, dark fruits mixed with malt and molasses, possible a little caramel, and a bit of spice. Perfectly carbonated, medium mouthfeel which warms as it goes down. Top notch beer, world class.

Jan 3, 2009 Bomber, purchased for 13 bucks in Ojai, CA. Pours brown with some maroon tinges and a creamy tan head. Aroma is plum, licorice, and chocolate, blended boldly. This brew tastes much like the aroma, excellently balanced, and with vinous charateristics. Ends with a dry palate and dark fruit. Excellent, but well below Pannepot, for instance.
sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA
Jan 2, 2009 Pours hazy brown-ruby with brownish head.
Aroma is malty with a dark fruity nose - dark cherry and candi sugar nose
Taste is very similar to the aroma.
This beer is just extremely smooth and velvety with the alcohol remaining very subtle with notes of spices.
Overall mouthfeel leaves a warming feel on the palate. Very well balanced, and will match many of the Trappists by its quality.
Slokop (91), Tilburg, Netherlands
Jan 2, 2009 Updated: Jan 19, 2009Drank a 9 months old 0,33 litre at 10 degrees Celsius. It appeared with a huge creamy thick head that kept the flavoury scent away from me. Underneath was a bit conservative quadruple. No taste was dominant. Therefore hard to describe this beer. Had ideas of burned malts, brown sugar and coffee. Absolutely nothing fruity here. It is balanced, will not bore you, not surprise you either. Just plain enjoyable.
