(750 ml bottle, 2004 vintage) Pours a cloudy mahogany body with a thick, creamy beige head. Aroma of plums, dates, Christmas fruit cake, caramel, vinous, orange peel, and honey. Malty base flavor with dark fruits, bread, and spices. Smooth texture with a somewhat bitter finish.

Do yourself a favor and if you see this beer, buy it and drink it. This is my personal Holy Grail of beers. Everyone will have something that really does it for them and this is mine. Honestly, this is almost entirely about the taste. It doesn’t pour particularly well, and there’s always sediment floating around. Not a particularly great head to it, usually small if poured correctly. Now to the flavor - wow. There’s nothing else to say. Now, to be fair, I like sweet. Honey, fruit, candy, no noticeable bitterness and the alcohol is very well hidden. Certainly not a quantity beer, but a fine choice when you’re looking for something special.

Pours burnt caramel brown with a halo of a tan head. Nose is dark fruits and caramel. The flavor is quite the same with a lot of ripe fruits. Smooth on the palate and clean finish.

Pours a hazy amber with tan head. Aroma is heavy sweet nuts and fruit. Flavor is candied sugar and malts. Very sweet. Body is creamy and carbonation is fair.

Amber/brown pour, huge white head, and huge amounts of lacing. Aroma is of apples, candied sugar, yeast. Flavor is of a typical Belgian Strong Ale - dark fruits, candied sugar, bread/cookie, and almost no bitterness. Great brew.
