Oct 24, 2008 Pours dark amber/brown, quickly dissipating head. Sweet malt, yeasty fruit and very akin to belgian brown in the nose. Excellent spice and dark fruit flavor, amazing belgian style output. Great alcohol component that lingers well in the finish.

Oct 20, 2008 Bottle, 2006. Pours a slightly cloudy red-orange with no head and a few sparse bubbles. The description says it should be crystal clear if served properly, I guess mine is a little on the cold side. Very sweet on the nose. A lot of apple aromas a faint hint of vanilla. Very sweet start that quickly turns tart. A fair amount of an apple cider flavor to it. A trace of pine or spice, a tinge of oak too. Very light and clean mouthfeel. A greatly delayed alcohol warmth. Good in small doses.

Oct 8, 2008 2006 vintage - Thank you Peter and Jessica. Cloudy dark amber in color with a very slight off-white head--limited carbonation from the aging, but still enough to distribute the complex flavor profile delicately across the palate. The aroma is filled with caramel malt, fruity fermentation esters, and alcohol all melded together by a velvety aged characteristic that enrobes everything. The aroma characteristics flow directly onto the palate with the addition of well-constructed bitterness and some sweetness from malt and alcohol. Restrained fermentation flavors provide harmonious counterpoints for the substantial maltiness in the big body. Very well-constructed to have aged this long and still be so vibrant. This is a really fun "new-world" Belgian-style ale.
