May 26, 2009 Vintage 2006. Bottle from Styles. Sweet candy and licorice aroma. Murky brown body with tan head that formed a cover on top of body of beer that lasted throughout the beer with some sediment floaters. Good hardy candy flavor with a touch of spice and the beer has a thick body texture. Smooth on the palate with a sweet candy film that lingers on the palate. Good stuff!!!

May 25, 2009 Vintage 2006. Pours a deep, mahogany/brown under a slightly fizzy yet slow-fading ecru head. Slight evidence of sandy silty particulate through the darkness of the body. Grapey, vinous aroma with a low vinegar note. More fruits emerge next with cherry, pear & prune alongside sweet caramel and bready yeasts. Incredibly rich, sweet flavor with a strong (almost numbing) spice profile to keep it from cloying. Malts and yeast fight valiantly against harsh, cloven spicing. Full and fluffy in the mouth, low astringence. Flavor retention is fantastic, this can be sipped and savored slowly over a long period of time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 11.2 oz. bottle purchased over a year ago from West Lakeview Liquors, Chicago, IL.

May 24, 2009 07 vintage. Pours chestnut brown with a dissapearing dark brown head. Awesome aroma of banana, clove, overipe fruit, candystore, chocolate, and yeast. Sweet flavor of plums, raisins, mollasses and a good roasted malt character. A tad lighter than expected and very fruity. Sampled next to a Westy extra 8, and although truly a top Belgian, the Westy was slightly smoother. This beer tasted a tad harsh in comparison.

May 23, 2009 Updated: May 24, 20092007....Yo this was a malt milkshake. Sweet as fuck. Richer than the most successful entrepreneur...but a boozy ,unbalanced one. Apple esters remind me of Samiclause from Austria ...I digged this mostly-its not mindbending or anything.Good recipe/Bit erratic.

May 20, 2009 Bottle 20-MAY-2009.
2007 version.
As I open it it just bubbles out of the bottle. Quite typical, so I run for the glas.
Huge head on a very very dark brown, almost black body. I can tell impurities floating around, and slowly falling to the bottom.
Sugary smell with loads of malty stuff almost coca cola in the nose.
Tasts of brown sugar, figs and other malty notes.
Very creamy and a perfect belgian beer.
