4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 0,75 L. Dark reddish colour with an off-white, creamy head. Spicey and fruity aroma of strawberries, plums, kandi and cinnamon. Flavour hides the alcohol very well, only in the start did I detect some alcohol. Quite a feat, realising this is 10,5%. Flavour is spicey sweetness with fruits. Tastes a bit similar to red wine. Well balanced, easy drinkable, despite the high ABV.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 ml. bottle. Pours a thick, lasting, ivory head, with extensive lacing, over a clear reddish copper, brown (SRM 18) body...nose is heavy with sweet malts, (dried fruits, including cherry raisin, fig), brown sugar....taste is dried cherry, raisin, fig, brown sugar, plum, hints of cocoa, finishing with a light sweet bitterness....mouth feel thick, sticky, alcohol lightly present, carbonation low. This is obviously a Dark Belgian Strong Ale. It is at the nexus of mince pie, plum pudding, and Tawney Port. It is very vinous, sweet and complex. The sweetness is heavy, which may be a function of youth, but I cannot tell the bottles age. I did mark it down because of the domination by the sugar flavors. BJCP 8/3/13/4/7
