Aug 27, 2009 11.5 oz bottle, courtesy of bret27. Medium dark brown with off white head. Wonderful nose of milk chocolate and fruits. Very smooth with good mouthfeel. Split between 6 of us, so I am eager to get one to myself.

Aug 26, 2009 Tasted this one next to the 12. They are similar in appearance, but the 8 is just a little "thinner". I’ve read that the 8 is brewed from the second runnings of the 12, that’d make sense. Cocoa and caramel, with a little more hop presence.

Aug 25, 2009 Bottle. 2008 I believe, maybe older, thanks RLB, he gave me this one since my first bottle was opened at madness 1. Aroma of plum and raisins. Poured a murky brown. Flavor of raisin and plum, brown sugar, chocolate. Palate was full and lively, very clean. Overall, a pleasure to enjoy with the wife.

Aug 23, 2009 I’m going to attempt to not fawn over this beer in the review but let me just say wow. This is amazing stuff.
Appearance is the weak point, and even here I am nitpicking. Pours a murky brown with creamy brown head.
Smell.. Wait, did I open a lambic by mistake? Sweet and fruity, incredibly appetizing.
Taste-I am blown away. In no way are these overrated. Hard to detect alcohol at all.
Mouthfeel- just right amount of carbonation and a medium body.

Aug 16, 2009 Bottle at In de Vrede. Pours deep brown with a medium creamy brownish head. Still some awesome lacing (as with all the Westys) Aroma of red fruits, hops, plums, raisins, chocolate. Taste is spicy and fruity. Small bitterness, some hints of nuts, chocolate and raisins. Slight alcohol feeling but not much really. Head stays until the end. Quite drinkable, very well balanced.

Aug 9, 2009 Bottle. Color is a very dark brown . Carbonation is good with a big tan head. Aroma is a spicy yeast scent with some mild malt notes. Taste is sweet and a little spicy. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a fizzy feel. Finish is big with Belgian yeast, some dried fruits and a nice spicy feel. After taste lets the fruity Belgian flavors come out with just a hint of bitterness from the spice. This is just an amazing brew.
