Feb 24, 2004 2004 SE Gathering: Tangerine flavor with a hint of champagne. Wonderfully smooth with a warm alcohol finish. Great!

Feb 19, 2005 Pours tan honey with gorgeous head. Smells of honey, clove, citrus. Flavor blows my mind: lime, orange, grapefruit, touch of caramel, candi, yeast, cinnamon. Finish sweet, mellow honeyed lavender goodness. Boo-yah!

Dec 2, 2005 750 mL brown corked bottle purchased from Armanetti’s, Mundelein, IL. ABV 9%. Aged two years from bottling date. Hazy reddish amber with small diminishing white head with fair lacing. Succulent aroma bouquet of fruity esters, raisin and toffee. Soft carbonation. Full bodied that starts with fruity, sour/sweet flavor of raison, toffee and some sharpness. Finished dry with lingering sourness. Deeply satisfying Belgium-style ale, one of the best that I’ve had thus far. Delicious aroma lingered for a very long time and it was tough to put down the glass.

Sep 23, 2003 Nice amber color,medium sized off white head that lasted for a nice long time.Malty fruity aroma with a mild amount of spice and very nice hop presence.The taste is fruity and lightly malty with a nice amount of hops but not to strong,and a slight bubble gum taste as well.This is a fantastic tasting brew nicely balanced and refreshing,definately better then alot of the brews i've been indulging in today.The after taste is fruity and mildly sweet with a nice mellow feel that leaves you wanting more.

Jul 17, 2003 5/15/03 vintage. Copper color, fruity nose with a whiff of yeast and some hops, medium white head. Flavor is quite yeasty, not too sweet, with noticeable hops and a fruity backbone. Some bitterness in the finish. Interesting spin on the style; the hops+yeast have almost an Orvalesque character, although the beer itself has more sweetness than that Trappist classic.
