Aug 31, 2007 750 Ml Bottle 7/14/07: Deep amber w/ a lasting light beige head, and a very chunky appearance from the yeast. Peppery yeast & plum fruit floral aromas followed by a sharp, pungent spicy aroma w/ hints of anise. CAramel and toasted bready malts w/ light sherry oxidative notes. Also hints of lemony citrus and cherry lollipops. Well balanced w/a dry finish. Plum fruitiy esters w/ toasted and bready malts are most apparent at first in the flavor. Light peppery yeast w/ a bit of other spicy flavors undescernable... A good thing! Slightly sweet w/ a hint of ginger up front as it warms that lasts into the finish & aftertaste.. Also some light lemon peel way in the back ground. Dry aftertaste that is bready malt flavored. Highly carbonated, medium body, and a smooth, creamy m/f. Well hidden alcohol. Nicely complex beer! Spicy ginger spice seems to strengthen as it warms, but I think it’s the yeast instead of actual ginger... I could be wrong. Highly enjoyable beer for me.

Aug 29, 2007 Golden red with small head. Some fine sedament. Dried fruits and alchol. But the alcohol is just right. Malty in an earthy way. Very trappist/double like.

Aug 21, 2007 750mL bottle. Poured orange-brown with some sediment in suspension. large tan head. Complex, sweet aroma, with malt, dried fruit, caramel, some hops; reminds me of a dubbel. Flavor is just as complex, with malt, spice, chocolate, fruit, wood, earth, and hops. Long, dry finish. Tremendous beer.

Aug 19, 2007 Tawny with a head that won’t go away. The head is creamy and slightly mineral. Aroma is rich and sweet. Lots of plum, grape, malt and maybe a bit of apple cider. Flavor is lots of the same - it really delivers. I’m also getting some spiciness - cinnamon and clove. For seeming so rich up front, it is really smooth and actually has a crisp finish. You know it’s so rich from all the stuff you just experienced, but the finish is almost slightly tannic, so it’s really dangerous. I’d gladly drink more. All in all this is a really special, well made beer. It doesn’t come up to you and smack you in the face to tell you how good it is. This beer just quietly sits there and exists as a beautiful, subtle, and humble winner.

Aug 10, 2007 murky caramel/red colored with a small creamy tan head. aroma of caramel, brown sugar, citrus, but surprisingly quite boozy. flavor has notes of burnt caramel, brown sugar, lemon, cherry, peach and wood. some unidentified spices. full bodied with a creamy but perfectly carbonated velvety palate. very sweet. no alcohol in flavor(only aroma).

Aug 7, 2007 Flaske. Rigtig flot øl ,men manglede dog endel i smagskompleksitet til at komme helt op at ringe. Præcis samme oplevelse havde jeg af den på fad. Rigtig god øl, men der mangler lige lidt.

Aug 3, 2007 Bottle Pours a slightly hazy light mahogany with a nice full and persistant sandy colored head. Lots of floaties dancing among the lively effervescense. Aroma is a nice combo of raisons and dark sweet malts but a note of cooked vegtables..asparagus maybe.. Flavor si light belgian yeast notes and the candied sugar, rich carmel malts and a bit of alcohol.
