killedge (26), Miami, Florida, USA Feb 7, 2008 great smooth fruity carmely aroma... dark chocolate brown color.... great overall taste... this is truly a beer you could give to anyone and they would not be able to find anything wrong with it....glad I had a chance to have it santos999 (318), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 7, 2008 Big up to Nate for sharing this one. Strong caramel nose, with loads of complexity. Raspberry, chocolate, prunes, dates, figs and raisins to name a few. Beautiful burgundy with a rich tan head. Super sweet and complex flavor, with hints of dough, cake, and dark fruits (prunes, dates, cherries). Very creamy and full, just a tad cloying. World class for sure, but tends to be over-hyped a bit. Is it the limited availability that gives this one its huge reputation? Or is it the taste? This is a fantastic brew, but not the best coming out of Belgium. Give it 5 years in the cellar. dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 7, 2008 2004 bottle so graciously shared with the Exec Board by Nate. Pours murky brown with a small, off white head. Nose is fantastic. Fruity and caramel, raisin, cherry, grape. Mildly tannic but sweet, almost port-esque. Taste is insane. Fruity notes play with the tongue offering up intertwining hints of cherry, grape, raisin and plum which compliment the caramel and toffee of the malt. A nice, mellow alcohol warmth permiates the palate and warms the soul. Just a fantastic beer. Thanks so very much, Nate, for sharing this tasty treat. Bielenberg (4), Galten, Denmark does not count Feb 7, 2008 Pours dark brown in color. Big malty flavor. So good. Rich beer.
This is one of the best i have ever had. sleepylopes (313), New York, USA Feb 6, 2008 tasting in Columbus. pours deep ruby and murky with a thin head. scents of winery barrel room must and dried cherry’s. the bear has a thin mouth feel and is slightly tannic. incredible yeast and a champagne like carbonation. the balance of this beer is what makes it great. hellsinghtx (31), Denmark Feb 5, 2008 the best bear i have tastet ever. dark muddy, brown head. what can i say, when i got it in my mouth i was just, "wow". you dont taste that its 10.2%. a little tip to you who hasent tastet it. TASTE it as soon as possible. but dont rush to much, make sure that you dont shake it, but if you do, let it stand for about 3 hours before you drink it. pepsican (883), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA Feb 2, 2008 Updated: Jun 12, 2009Pours dark brown head. Lots going on in the aroma. Dark fruits, sherry, candy, quite a bit going on here. Flavor is very complex, fruit, funk, alcohol, caramel, chocolate. Finishes highly carbonated, but doesn’t get in the way of the beer. Light alcohol notes which melded well with the beer. JayBaxter (386), Greater Manchester, Greater Manchester, England Feb 2, 2008 Finally i get to try the Daddy, six bought for me by my lovely wife. Pours dark brown and hazy with a large frothy head that soon fades to leave a thin band of bubbles, aroma is sweet and candy like (creme brulee) Flavour is full of dried autumnal fruits and at no time do you taste the 10% it’s just warming and utterly beautiful.
