Feb 22, 2009 Bottle.
Dark redish to brown colour. Smells like a barley wine. Butter and a bit sour tasting. Full bodied and heavy without any special taste beeing lifted.

Feb 22, 2009 Pours a lovely rich ruby with a thin layer of foam and minimal lacing. Aroma is SUBLIME! Oh my good glory: at first overwhelmingly sweet, but on closer inspection pickled ginger comes through strong and clear... The taste delivers on every promise of the aroma: strong and sweet with so many layers of spice one doesn’t even know where to begin... speculoo (brown sugar, cinnamon) raisin, lots of raisin in the finish, which lingers a loooong, loooong time. A surprisingly crisp body for such a dense-flavoured beer, decent carb. My god I love this beer and I fear it shall end me.

Feb 21, 2009 (Batch 6 - 2008). Fairly good carbonation for such a heavy alcoholic laden beer.Pours very tall head with lots of big bubbles. Blood orange red color in body. Aroma of yeast, albeit it very light. Wonderful flavor packed with LOTS of sugars. If you eat dates you can pick out the date flavor especially. Warming in the throat after swallowing the first few sips and the warmth continues to linger on the palate for quite some time. . Body is not overly heavy. I can easily see someone getting carried away drinking this stuff. If you like Belgians you need to try this. Addendum to this post. As little as 15 minutes after drinking this I’m actually feeling a little numbness. This was after ONE bottle and I’m a pretty heavy person. Avery is the only brewery that has done that to me. Not even the legendary EKU 28!! Drink, but drink with intnet of not driving for some time. :-)

Feb 15, 2009 Bottle. Nice redbrown color. Sweetness, butter, raisin, small smokeiness, hop bitterness. This beer has too much of everything. The end result is a beer with no real depth.
