Jan 20, 2006 750ml Bottled 3/29/05. Pours a hazy reddish/orange color. Strong aroma of apple juice and yeast. Somewhat sweet and maybe a little grain. Flavor right up front is of dark fruits and roasted malt. A little chocolate as well. Yeast flavor is only moderate. Alcohol is very well hidden. You can feel the alcohol more than taste it.

Jan 5, 2006 Bottle. Dark copper beer with a big cream colored head. Rich malty/yeasty aroma with some spice and earthiness. Rich malty flavor with some plum and figs. Candy sugar and alcohol warmth. High carbonation. Nice comlexity and depth. Finishes dry and would like the flavors to linger a bit longer.

Jan 1, 2006 Bottle. Belgian yeast aroma with some wheat and some sweetness in the nose. Yellow, orange, red body. Beautiful. Big, lasting off-white head. Excellent lae. High alcohol profile, but doesn’t taste 12%. Great flavor; Belgian candi sugar. Fairly carbonated, although not overly so. A really great beer with which I rang in the new year (2006).

Dec 28, 2005 Pours a hazy golden color with a huge amount of froathy white head. Aroma is orangey, spicey, floral, and a bit yeasty. Flavor is sour and alcohol, fruity, yet sweet finish. Overall, i though this was good, but it lacked something that the grand cru had. Very similar to the grand cru, just not as complete. definitely lose something with the extra abv.

Dec 28, 2005 12.25.05 Merry Christmas. A very powerful belgian style ale. Got very excellent as it warmed. Somewhat syrupy with lots of fruit aromas and flavors. Solid. Made me hungry like the wolf.

Dec 27, 2005 floral aroma with spicy yeast. Pours a cloudy orange, floaties, thin head. Sweetness and peppery up front, with a mild earthiness. Dry, with warming alcohol finish. Maybe it was the weed talking, but I wrote down that this tasted amazing!

Dec 27, 2005 Nice head. Copper coloured. Belgian, alcohol and ruit aroma. Foamy light head. Light pepper flavour. Mild flavour-wise for a big beer. Dry, no finish except for the alcohol.
