Oct 5, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of fordest. pours a copper color with a small off-white head. The aroma is raisins and plums. The taste shows rock candy with big fruit note, more fruity than sweet, a very nice balance. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is long with lingering ripe plums. Overall: not your typical Belgian quad, but very flavorful and enjoyable.

Sep 30, 2008 Sample @ BBF 08, Boston. Pours a reddish-brown with a medium off-white head. Aroma is heavy raisins with detectable alcohol. Taste is raisin, malt, and a noticeable alcohol burn at the end. The flavors are not as bold or complex as you’d expect from the best in this style.

Sep 10, 2008 Pours with three quarter inch head, leaving some lace. Body is amber, with a slight tint of orange. Nose of rum, raisins, and sherry.
The taste is sweet at first, with some fruitiness. Then the rum like alcohol rears its head. This is a sweet, malty beer. The mouthfeel is smooth, and lightly carbonated. I have enjoyed this one more than the first time I had this. But I will not drink my other samples for several months. The sweetness reveals the youth of this beer.
