Does "Heaven in a Glass" serve as a critique?
Pours dark; Great head that last; Flavorful til the last drop.
Malty; special; dances on the tongue; pleasant upfront and after.
Absolutely a dream and everything I hope it would be. Couldn’t bring it back home as it wasn’t available. Went back two days in a row just to have it when I could.

2008 vintage courtesy of belgian beergal, thanks again Amy! its a classic, no doubt. tastes bready and fruity and lightly floral, overall sweet but well balanced. nice full mouth, beautiful yeast profile and flavor, adds a good bit of spice. excellent brew. i think i prefer it a lil bit fresher actually, but its very nice at any age.

Lives up to the hype. Extremely complex. Dark fruits, caramel, amazing palate. Has a taste all of it’s own that’s hard to describe or compare to anything else. Very floral. However, as amazing as it is, it’s still not quite worth the current market price. I was lucky to grab a few bottles before the prices got too out of control, but doubt i’ll seek it out unless I can get lucky. There are beers almost as good for much less.

Really amazing. I used think this beer was more of a gimmick than a really great beer because of the difficulty in getting. But it really does live up to its reputation. It is an amazing beer. Malty and sweet, but not too sweet. Plum and malt flavors dominate but it also has a good hop bitterness level. Supremely balanced. Thanks to Adam for bringing it to me from Belgium!!

This simply is an amazing beer.
A lot can be discussed about this one, but in the end, you must say he’s amazing.
Of course his exclusivity helps a lot in the score (but you see that as wel with the Narke Kaggen Stormaktsporter).
One conclusion: everyone must try this and decide for him/herself!
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 chimplechamp (579) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 13, 2011
bottle from that really crazy beer store in brugges. payed a whopping 10€ for it. but I figured it was an experience and thats how much most beer costs at most bars in oslo anyways. NOTE-drank while in a bath tub, eating belgian chocolates. pure unadulterated indulgence. pours rich deep brown almost black. nose is biscuity, cookie spices, nutmeg, cinnamon, really reminscent of cookies. taste is full on, almost over the top with its bitter sweet intensity. chocolate, biting bitterness, cassis, it is rich. and i think it is way too young. i don’t think this is the best beer i’ve had, i do think it was worth the money, but if i had bought another bottle i would have cellared it for at least two years.
