| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Bottle. Batch 4 (2006) 12 oz. Pours shimmery amberish copper with a small, quckly fading beige head. Aroma of alcohol, fig, raisin, oak, and hints of metal. Full bodied with a sick, sort of oily mouthfeel. Heavy, bold finish with a distinct warming and an alcoholic aftertaste. Decent Belgian strong. Does not hide the alcohol very well, so be forewarned. SteelyDog (6), Texas, USA does not count | 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Nov 20, 2009 2009 - 15.07%. Clear, copper color, not much head. Not much aroma, mostly alcohol. Has an amazingly sweet taste and never bitter. Smooth going down with a slight bite and a solid aftertaste. Overall, a great beer worthy of being consumed by the Beer Gods. Ober (1188), Bommelerwaard, Netherlands

Nose is strong and sweet with alcohol with a hint of sour. No sour in the flavor, which is big, way big. For this abv this is very drinkable. Very sweet, and very strong, but very tasty. Its like whiskey beer, but not quite. Some carbonation. Really good Tripplebrew (493), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Updated: Nov 6, 2009Thanks Strykzone for this fascinating brew. From a 12 oz bottle this four year old (2005 bottling) poured a very dark brown with a large bubbled tan head and good lacing rings. You can smell this from six feet away with a big nose of fermented raisins, and alcohol. Mouthfeel is slick and oily and the body is fairly heavy. The flavor is more like Creme Sherry than beer and the finish is surprisingly mild considering the high alcohol content. A very unique and quite remarkable beer. You sip this one, and it was enjoyable from start to finish. DuffManSW (288), Riverside, California, USA
