Jun 11, 2008 bottle- found this to be rather undrinkable. toffee, grapes, wine like aroma leads into a prune like, cloying, semi-roasted finish. Did not enjoy, and don’t see what the fuss is all about.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle, Amazing beer. Plum, cherry and red wine aroma. Virtually no head with a dark brown murky body. Moderately sweet flavor that is perfectly balanced. Medium body with a oily texture. No alcohol taste present. This is truly an outstanding beer worth the money, a treat.

Jun 8, 2008 Pours with lots of tan head. Rich sugary aroma and deep brown body, with little lacing. Palate is very rich and thick with over enthusiastic carbonation, but easily quelled. Flavor is extremely sweet, but pleasant. Lots of cherry, plum, prune, burnt sugar, dark rum. Overall, quite delicious, if overpowering.

does not count  Jun 8, 2008 2006 bottle from Belmont Station. Very nice. First thought was it smells fruity in a way similar to Trois Pistoles but it tastes a lot roastier and chocolatier, more so than Rochefort 10. Very sweet, with lingering roasty and fruity aftertaste.

Jun 7, 2008 Lovely beer. Dark brown and opaque in appearance. Mine poured with virutally no head. Complex aroma beyond my abilities of discernment. Flavor is huge and wonderfully complex--fruits and spices playing well off the malts, finishing with hints of chocolate and coffee. Touch of woody smokiness in there too.

Jun 7, 2008 11.2oz bottle sampled alongside its cousin, Pannepřt. 2006 vintage. Smelled of chocolate liqueur and dark fruits with a hint of sassafras. Almost perfume-ish. The alcohol burned my nostrils ever so slightly. Poured a dark brown color with a dense tan head that retained its height well. Only a bit of lace was left behind on the glass at the end. Nearly opaque with reddish-orange highlights. Medium to full bodied and slightly sweet. Ample carbonation, but less than I had expected. The alcohol was evident and had a warming effect. I tasted chocolate liqueur, fig, raisin, roasty malt, and molasses. The hint of sassafras came out again in the flavor. A bit of banana was there as well, especially with each burp. Interesting beer.

May 31, 2008 2006 bottle. Hazy brown, nice head. Dark fruit and toffee aroma, flavour of plums and licorice. Impressive body, not being overly sweet. Great balance, excellent finish with a nice alcohol warmth. After the rather disappointing Struise Mikkeller, I didn’t expect much, but this is astonishingly good, up there with the best of them!
