Draft. Orange pour with some white head. Aromatic include banana cove etoh and some sweetness. Banana flavor smacks you in the face and this definitely has some alcohol bite.

330cl bottle into a Chimay goblet. Pours a delicious amber brown color with a little bit of a head that fizzles out very quickly. Very strong whoosh of alcohol on the nose, ending with fruit. Taste is pretty alcohol-ey with some vanilla and caramel. The finish is quick, though. Pretty nice beer, will probably try it again.

bottle about three years old - Pours light amber with a small off-white head. It has a rich malt aroma with dark fruit. The flavor is sweet malt with a blend of dark fruit accents. Complex, smooth, and full bodied, the 11.8% abv is noticeable but any harshness that may have been there when it was new is long gone. Excellent brew.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
A nice quad. Very very dark and deep orange-brown. pours a nice head and fades to a thin rim. Smells of floral/candy/malt. Taste is big, sweet candy sugar, malt,, occasional sour tone too. Didn’t notice abv-wow- its 11.9!?!?!
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
A- Transparent amber colored body that pours with a thick rusty head that quickly fades. No lacing is left behind.
S- Strong smell of malt and fermented dark fruits.
T- Initial taste of alcohol. After tasting the alcohol grapes, other dark fruit, some malt, and hints of caramel come through. Strong warm feeling of alcohol lingers in the mouth with hints of bready malt.
P- Nicely done. Medium carbonation with medium weight body. Very dry.
O- Though the taste wasn’t bad the lingering alcohol made it hard to drink. Not a bad brew and definitely worth a try.

Brownish pour with a fizzy head that settles. The aroma is sweet with lots of raisins and figs, some musty notes as well as sweet brown carmelized sugars. Similar in the flavor, sweet fruity with a hint of booze, never becomes cloying. Figs, raisins, dates, carmelized sugars, and a hint of musty yeast notes. Nicely carbonated with an alcohol bite in the finish.
