Sep 17, 2006 22 0z. bottle on 9/12/06. Huge yellowish head over a hazy gold pour leaving a heavy lace behind as the glass empties. Noticeable alxohol in the aroma, but also some peach, apricot, vanilla, and other fruity notes. Rich and smooth with a light carbonation. Flavors of toffee and light fruit are partially offset by some light bittering, but the fish is somewhat sweet, but not clouying in any way. Flavorful, complex, enjoyable.

Sep 12, 2006 What can i say, other than that this beer is a great example of a belgian strong. Spicy and nuitty notes blend with a wonderful thick malt back. This does not taste like a 12%. Another great beer from Victory.

Aug 30, 2006 Updated: Sep 26, 2007Hazy dark nut brown colored brew with thick tan head and pleasant fruity mildly hopped aroma. Taste is sweet with candi and rich with fruity goodness. Alcohol rather well hidden,but I can tell it’s there, dancing on the back of my tongue $8/22oz

Aug 21, 2006 Smells very sweet. Smells of malt with almost a chocolate banana type smell. Poured dark red/ brown in color with a large head. You can definitely taste the alcohol in this beer. I think age will help this, as I am drinking a new bottle of this. Taste sweet and malty

Aug 21, 2006 Very malty. Some friends - who I thought I’d impress by bringing this over - wouldn’t drink it. So I drank it all. Excellent beer from an excellent brewery.

Aug 20, 2006 Aromas are meadlike. Honey and sweetness dominate, but you can smell the alcohol. A little bit of a port-like aspect to it too. Head is insanely large. Body is a cloudy dark amber. Alcohol dominates flavor, burying malt and so on. I’m picking up cloves and yeast, but they definitely take a back seat here. I’d be more than happy to trade a couple of ticks of the ABV% for a little more balance.

Aug 11, 2006 Updated: Aug 24, 2007Pours an orangie amber with a smallish head. Aroma is mostly fruity, banana and citrus. Flavor is much lighter than I would expect from such a high abv. Some nice bread like yeast mixed with a sweetness. Hardly any alcohol flavor, but a nice burn as it goes down. An exceptional beer.

Aug 9, 2006 Tasted with OhioGuzzler... Bottled 8/22/2004. This beer is pure Belgian ectasy. It is a beautiful honey color with a sweet malty aroma with a bit of orange or apricot. The flavor is is sweet and slightly orange, peachy, and maybe a bit of cherry. The palate is amazing. It tastes sweet like syrup on the sides of the tongue, but it so soft, smooth, and not syrupy at at. The alcohol is amazing hidden. I’ve been told that this beer needs a bit of age to be really good, but at 2 years it is excellent. If you have some, please send me a message! This is a truly underrated brew!
