3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20It pours dark mahogany with ruby highlights; the head is bone and mousse-like. The aroma has notes of: cardamom, cloves, yeast funk, hay, figs, and alcohol. The taste is dry that finishes light bitter; there are notes of: cloves, figs, a tiny bit of burnt coffee, and lots of alcohol. The palate is full bodied, slick, medium carbonation, and a long finish. Overall, when this is young it’s very closed - definitely needs a couple of years to perk up.

Corked and caged, best before 11-15-2016. Sweet nose with a mix of dark pitted and rotting fruit. Light chocolate, stronger figs, dates, berries, cherry, plums, toffee, caramel, earth, oak, spice and yeast. Dark mahogany body with coke and ruby highlights, eventually flattens out, with a noisy tan cola head. Taste is sweet to very sweet (candis added to all the listed fruit) -- but not too sweet -- and has a wonderful slow-burn alcohol, not hot or charring on the organs, but very subtly and slowly increasing in the chest and belly, a masterful act of taming from the kennelmaster. Fruit is still there and strong bu the spice is backed off; yeast is still there at the end, Belgian as ever, with a bit of vanilla. Low bitterness a touch under balancing. Medium body with slick malt and the depth of a good quad, very spirit-like. This is a young bottle but my, how classy and pleasant it is already!

bottle. Pours deep purple/black, bubbly one finger head in trappist glass. Aroma is mostly dark fruit, raisin, fig, also some lighter unibroue yeast. Taste can be almost wine-like, a little acidity on top of the sweet fruits. Pretty good.

Dark and cloudy. A fruity aroma that just doesn't go anything for me, with a taste that matches. I believe it is the fig that is coming through....
