[bottle at EBF 2008] Refreshing, sour fruit aroma: peach and quite a bit of orange. Very slightly medicinal with any hops aroma coming as fruit. Dark red-orange with no top. Awesome fruity flavours balance this strong beer. No saltiness as in many of this style. Malt grain flavour is a bit subdued but the bitterness is very low--sweet fruit. Smooth and slightly mouth puckering from the fruit (not from vinegary acid like in lambics), clean in the end.

Bottle. High fluffy and lasting off-white head. Slightly hazy reddish body. Raspberries aroma with notes of cream and caramel. Powerful fruity creamy and malty flavor with spicy notes as well as some acidity and alcohol. Low carbonation and a long bitter sweet aftertaste.

Bottled the 9th day of some unreadable month in 2007. Cloudy reddish orange. Thin 1 finger of light tan head. Some spices, strong alcohol aromas, barely any fruitiness. Flavor is very potent, strong malt, caramel and rasberries. Some spicy Belgian like undertones. Very strong alcohol, I’d believe the 18%.

Joey left this at my house. Thanks man! Roughly 4 years old or so. Pours a rich amber with red tints. Aroma is massive raspberry with some syrupy caramel. Flavor was up front raspberry and blackberries, caramel, toffee, a hint of sherry. Finishes strong but nowhere near 18%. This was very nice!

Sample from Pepsican. Thanks! Bottle was aged 4 years. Blueberry flavors. Rich and thick. Roasted dark malt, cream cheese, fruit. Palate was solid and slightly syrupy. Very good. It appears aging has been kind.

Bottle at EBF. Clear dark amber - white edges. Sweetness, high berries, caramel, cherry, fruity, raspberries, llight alcoholic, fantastic vinousness. Almost perfect - needs some rubber.

Bottled@EBF 2008. Pale amber colored, no head. Heavy alcoholic fruit aroma. Notes of medicine. Vinous fruit flavor with loads of alcohol. Thick, juicy mouthfeel. Too boozy for my tastebuds.
