2007 (batch 1) bottle sampled May ’08.
Pours a rich brown with a nice head. Lovely caramel-meets-fruity tripel aroma and a flavor that follows. Ample carbonation provides a light spritzy mouthfeel that hides the 9% abv. Ahhh...very nice beer, a really pleasant surprise from one that I’d had relatively low expectations for.

Oct 5, 2008 Hazy amber color; creamy head. Delicate aroma, malty, fruity, sweet; quite nice. Powerful body, maybe even a bit too alcoholic, with malt flavor, enough sweetness, too simple on the yeast side. Low bitterness.

Oct 2, 2008 this is a delicious beer. batch 2 pours opaque copper color with a small yet thick head. aroma is slightly spicy and yeasty with lots of matly undertones. slightly sour flavor, lots of rich malts, maybe a little chocolate in the background. almost no hop presence at all. thick, full mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.

Oct 1, 2008 Batch 2 – 8.72% ABV. Compact bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Attractive clear, dark amber body with a decent, off-white head. Aroma of spiced malts. Candy sweet in flavour, offset by dark fruits and spices. Dry yeast to the finish. Well bodied, though a little out of character (hotel room in Valby, 11.09.2008).

Sep 29, 2008 This beer was a hazy light amber color with some residual head. The aroma had figs, raisins, and some alcohol present, along with some typical Belgian characteristics. It’s a little thin on the palate and has quite a bit of carbonation. It finishes solid, but overall, did not live up to its billing.
