Jan 7, 2006 VINTAGE 1988. Bouteille 33 cl, consommée à De Heeren van Liedekercke, Denderleeuw, Décembre 2005.
Couleur brune foncé tirant vers l’acajou, apparence presque opaque. Énorme formation de mousse beige, crémeuse et persistante. Arômes de métal, de raisins et de porto sous des tonnes de malt chocolaté. Construite sur le malt, saveurs prononcées de fudge, de cacao et d’épices. Une touche de madérisation et d’oxydation fonctionne bien avec le reste des saveurs. Carbonatation extrêmement douce, sensation douce en bouche, corps d’épaisseur moyenne. Tient bien la route et est de nature réconfortante !

Oct 17, 2005 No#14. (1980 something not sure what year) . Intresting little number here. Aged sweetish aroma with nuttyness kickin about. Taste is similar without the nuttyness, not as complex as expected, maybe a little too aged?

Oct 7, 2005 Pretty aged sample Scotch yes - Belgian that too - English - no way!
<P>
Thin yellow-brown head, gone in secs on quite carbonated, dark-brown beer, hazy. Grapey, raisins-like nose, rich, dark malts (not bitter or burnt), sweet-portlike or Maideira aromas. Nutty (walnut), and port flavour. Given the fact that it HAS some blue cheesy notes (albeit faint), this is an after-dinner party in a (small) bottle. Caramel & cakes taste. Despite a rich nose, and a heavy onset, the end is pretty thin. The alcohol is very hidden. Nice one. The aging has bettered it, but for one thing: the original thin MF has been accentuated if anything. Yet, one to try if you find it.

Jul 22, 2005 (Bottle 25 cl) Belgium has this strange tradition for Scotch Ale of which this is a typical example. Pitch black and dry to start with. Lots of dark, roasted malt with a very sweet finish. Probably added sugar pumps up the alcohol. 190999

Oct 13, 2003 Shared the bottle with caesar (BB 1998). Very nice aroma, berries, port, malty. Flavour is not as good, but still pretty complex.
