Nekronos (1949), Xalapa, Mexico Dec 22, 2005 Updated: Apr 30, 2006Just awesome, I am lucky I found it a vintage place. But I learnt some stuff about these beers, you cannot mix the bottom with the rest, the aroma, and the after taste is like sweet Rochefort cheese, and very persistent. bboeckl (115), Grafton, Wisconsin, USA Apr 18, 2007 Updated: May 12, 20077-year-old bottle at Kulminator in Antwerpten Belgium. Westvleteren was but a twinkle in my eye before this trip to Belgium. This beer really impressed me. Very deep complex flavor. Malty grainy, but also lots of deep wood, raisen, and chocolate tones. I would drink this one again and again if I could find it again and again. Worth every cent of the 8 Euro I paid!!
Nate (2255), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 12, 2004 1999 vintage at Le Bier Circus in Brussels. Deep malty aroma, raisins, figs, sugar. Velvet aroma. Deep mahogany clear with off-white pillowy lacing head. Medium bodied with medium-high carbonation. Starts sweet and mellow, raisin and plum, candy sugar, mild hops bitter. Alcohol present. Finish is smooth dry nutty sweet, with raisin. After has nice bitterness, with vinuous fruity undertones. Walt (2287), Chicago, Illinois, USA Dec 13, 2006 1995: Pour is hazed brownish amber with a dense tan head...smell is instantly funky and lightly sour...what a treat!...a nice musty funk creeps into your nose...definately some nuts and figs too, but just a wonderful subtle sourness...taste was dry and lightly cobwebby, with a hint of sweetness dancing around the sour yeasty flavor...the finish was slow and lingering and perfect for what this beer is...wow...I would rather drink this than blonde, 8, or 12...costly, but worth it. duff (5407), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Apr 24, 2006 Bottle@Bier Circus, Brussels. Aroma of dark fruits, toffee, and a noticable nuttyness. These flavours correspond to the palate. This is lightly sweet, with some soft acidity in the finish. But this is soft, complex and the flavour seems to go on forever, this was a real treat.
