Mar 21, 2009 Courtesy miketd. Dark brown with an off white head. Rich malt, subtle aromatic spices, belgian yeast, candi sugar, lightly vinous oak. Great combination. The palate on this was perfect- silky smooth with plenty of soft carbonation to carry the flavors. Full body. Great belgian strong ale.

Mar 20, 2009 Big thanks to bu11zeye for this. Cuvee Speciale 2008. I thought it was Prestige at first (that’s a bit what the bottle looks like). Best Before 2011. Pours with a hazed brown body and a light brown head. Aroma has some sourness, very dry with champagne, brett, read wine and CO2. Taste is slightly sour with a bit of alcohol, tons of dryness and earthiness. A bit of red wine rounds out the flavor. Dry with light alcohol presence. Very solid!

Mar 17, 2009 Courtesy miketd. Pours a very lightly hazy, rusty orange-amber color. A small, foamy, off-white head leaves minimal dots of lacing behind. The nose is candyish and sweet up front, with some caramel notes and alot of boozy oak. Initial sweetness turns a bit vinous, as the red wine asserts its alcoholic, lightly acidic presence. Flavors include notes of sweet-tart cherry and lemon candy, with tannic red wine and loads of saturated oak. Medium-plus bodied, lightly syrupy, showing a bit too much alcoholic warmth. Finishes semi-dry. I’m clearly in the minority here, but this brew didn’t strike me as anything extra special. Good, but vastly overrated, in my opinion.
