Jan 31, 2009 9 months old Prior. The paper on the bottle cant stand moist. It powdered away. Cheap paper. Silicone spray before storing would perhaps help.
It sips a mouthful taste, not as sticky as expected with the given amount of sweetness it brings. Alcolhol is far away. Fullness and rich taste takes its rightful place in its palate. The bitters seem to be fading away faster. They make place for a refreshing slightly sour aftertaste. Nice. An overt feast until the last drop.

austone (999), Turku; Pori, Finland
Jan 30, 2009 Murky reddish brown, coarse & foamy light beige head. Alcoholic, faint pear, candi sugar, rye bread and herbs aroma. Balanced dark sugary and herbal flavor, berry wine, liquorice, yeast, little cellar and strong alcohol. Medium bodied palate with huge amounts of carbonation. Pretty nice Belgian strong, nothing that distinct nor interesting.

Jan 29, 2009 Dark copper color with a nice large bubbly head. Aroma is nice raisin fruit aroma with yeasty dough that I really like in the belgian style. The flavor is a little more miss though. The spice in it seems to really take over for me and kind kills a bit of the fruity maltiness. Nice body and mouthfeel. Finishes nicely.

Jan 29, 2009 Reddish brown pour with a huge tan head. Aroma of a sweet fruits and bread. The bread takes over in the flavor. Some nice fruity/nutty notes remain, but the bready malt character dominates. Pretty good mouthfeel. Pretty good brew.

bubbleflubber (885), Collinsville, Virginia, USA
Jan 20, 2009 Pours a nice murky chestnut, with some settling floaties. The head is tan, fluffy, and retains 1/4-inch down the glass, leaving nice soapy lace. The aromas are of sweet spiced bread, aerated sugars and dark fruits. Sweet flavors, malty with banana and dried fruity esters. Some nice Belgian sugars, light alcohol, dough and tiny bitters to close the finish. Nice warming mouthfeel, complex and substantive. Very nice brew here, and a great offering from a world class brewer.
