Bottle. Brown color with a large frothy to creamy excellent lacing fully lasting light brown head. Aroma is moderate malty, spices, coffee, moderate to heavy yeasty, dry fruit, sugar. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with very good balance, harmonious, duration is average to long. Body is full, texture is creamy, carbonation is lively, finish feel is light alcoholic. Very nice ;o))

UPDATED: NOV 24, 2005 A deep red beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet spicy with notes of ginger and caramel. The flavor is very sweet and again with notes of spices and caramel.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a huge brown head. Cane sugar sweet and dry fruit aroma, yeast notes providing some spice notes too. Thick mouthfeel. Liqourice, spicy, dried fruit, sweet sugarish flavour in a lovely heavy blend with clear alcohol notes. Nice bitterness giving the beer a solid sharpness throughout and fresh fruityness into the sweet and bitter finish. Warming alcohol feel, not burning in anyway, rather well hidden. Very nice.

(Bottle 33 cl) Vintage 2004. Pours a clear, warm amber golden with a dense, beige head leaving some lacework. Very complex, vinous aroma with notes of raisins in rum. Sweet and full body with flavours of dried fruit, vanilla and brown sugar - and again a touch of rum. Not overly sweet and the alcohol is surprisingly well hidden in spite of the total lack of bitterness. The mouthfeel is extremely smooth and soft. 140307

Bottled. Dark brown opaque colour, huge foamy/creamy brownhead. Very complex aroma, malts, almond, nuts, alcohol, sweet fruit and caramel. Flavour of almond, nuts, sweet alcohol, raisins, plum and caramel. Aftertaste is plummy with strong sweetness. Absolutely lovely palate. Wonderful brew, which excellently hides it’s ABV. Smooth and soft yet very complex! Thanks omhper!

Bottled. Mahogany colour, rich head. Aroma of red berries. Sweet, lightly roasty and rather vinous. Richly malty with velvetty soft mouthfeel. Powerful, yet balanced. A full bodied, intensely aromatic world class beer.

Bottled. Cloudy red-brown colour with a huge beige head. Acidic aroma with lots of dried fruit, wood, spices, tobacco and chocolate. Very complex sweet flavour, with lots of dried fruits, tobacco and chocolate. Reminds me a bit of Rochefort 10, but this one is sweeter and much better. Thanks Jeppe for getting this beer to Denmark and thanks lachesis for brewing this great beer. Definately one of my favorite beers.

Dark brown with creamy brown lasting head & really nice lacings. Aroma is WAUW - Brown sugar, dark malts, Fruits - figs/prunes etc. - real Belgium complexity. Strong taste - filling mouthfeel - light warmth. Surprisingly little alcohol flavor. A bit highly carbonated. Long finish!!!!!! Up there with the best!

The color is a very dark amber, clean, with generous and creamy head. The aroma shows some oxidization, more than the flavor though; it’s malty, sweet; the bitterness is all gone. Still good, but probably at its limit.

Dark color, almost black; the head, initially medium sized, reduces ot a thin but persistent layer. Good aroma, very mature, with some caramel and chocolate. It has a good body, with caramel and malt flavor, medium sweet, liquor-like, with tobacco leaves; mature, but also a bit fruity, harmonious and complex at the same time. The alcohol feeling is more evident. It has almost no bitterness. Very interesting, but I think it may be even more in 5 or 6 years.

Cloudy brown color. Very nice aroma, some Madeira, Porto wine. Sweet, malty, round, complete, almost fruity. Great!

UPDATED: MAY 26, 2005 Bottle. Sweet dried fruit aroma. Dark chestnut colour. Stable light brown head. Sweet flavour, distinct liquorice notes. Quite high carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Thanks to Lachesis for this one.
