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....

A - Pours completely opaque with a rocky 2 finger tan head. Retains very well.
S - Green apple skins, dusty yeast, clove, pinot grapes,
T - Apples and dark fruits off the top- figs, prunes, raisins and some melon. The yeast is there but doesn’t come out and try to bully through the flavors. There is a pinot grape like acidity creating a vinous character. The roasted malts are weaved with molasses, licorice, clove, and pepper. Banana is pronounced when warm. Finishes tangy and slightly acidic.
M - Moderate carbonation, fizzy, medium to full body.
The bright white grape character was unexpected but melded perfect. All the flavors seem so balanced that nothing sticks out. The drinkability is very high for the style. Alcohol is hidden well.
