4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: JAN 28, 2011 Bottle thanks to Zathrus13. I can’t add anything the other 1783 raters didn’t already cover. I would like to say that I am pleasantly surprised with the complexity of this ale. I am really diggin the dark fruits (fig, plum, raisin), spices, alcohol, and Belgian candies. Oh brother, I need to fly to Belgium and spend a week or two defiling my liver....

Saved this one for my 300th rating. Cracked it open and the seas parted, the angels started singing and the gray skies turned sunny and bright. What a beauty this one is. Dark brown pour from bottle. Soft, pillowy head. Taste is wonderfully complex, with notes of dates, figs, plums and raisins. Finish is warm and lingering, with virtually no hint of alcohol. Friends, if you haven’t, you need to. You know what you need to do, now go do it!!

Thanks to Milos. I finally got to try this beer. It’s hard to add anything else to what’s been said, it is quite wonderful and a delight.

Drank it at the brewery!! Wow what a nice drive from Brugge. I totally recommend it you make the effort and drive out there. You do need a GPS it is in the middle of no where. About the beer, enough has been said. However, it is totally better at the brewery! I am so lucky.

Best by 4/29/13, from The Porter Beer Bar in Atlanta. This is somewhat cliche, however the beer was like a fine wine. The complexity unfolded throughout drinking the beer. Immediately, you can taste the plum and the malt in the form of a loaf of bread. There is a subtle banana flavor, but not overwhelming. The alcohol is noticeable only after the beer is gone.

Pours deep brown, very dark almost purple with a thick foamy head. Aroma is very pretty. Spicy and malty with notes of yeastr and bread. Tastes fantastic lots of dark fruit and notes of pineapple, especially in the finish. Very sweet and agreeable. This is a great beer both complex and drinkable.

Dated 08.09.11 on the cap. Served from bottle into a Chimay goblet. Pours a deep dark brown with an off-white two finger head with a dusting of brown sediment on the top. Maintains phenomenal lacing throughout. The aroma is comprised of fruit, bread, alcohol, and malt. The flavor is of malt, bananas, alcohol, biscuits, citrus, and bread. It is medium on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this brew is excellent in all aspects. The complexity of this one is truly INSANE. The appearance is awesome as well. This one sample makes me want to book a flight to Belgium and drink more... The hype is true.
