Jul 6, 2008 Pours mahogany with a small off-white head. Bready malts and dark fruit dominate the nose. Sweet but salty coffee-like flavor. The palate is a little thick for the flavor, and the beer isn’t as smooth as hoped. Standard.

Jul 6, 2008 Bottle from Sam at Stuffed Sandwich. God only knows how many years old it was, but it was aged to perfection. Dark, smooth, ripe with figs, dates, raisin, dark sugar, no roastiness. Tasted like a malt liquor cold-brewed by the Lord Almighty. Just the thing to cap off a pile of polish sausage and three mortal beers.

Jun 28, 2008 Little bottle. Pours fairly dark, kind of a mahogany and a decent head even in a Trappist glass. The aroma is sweet, malty, with light esters. Subtle hints of clove, coriander, banana, chocolate pudding are all hinted. It’s a soft, rounded aroma with little to no sharpness or bitterness. The flavor is much the same with a sweet, malty back bone highlighted by yeasty notes. The only suggestion of dryness is faint in the finish, this is definitely a juicy brew. Along with the spicy esters I get delicate hints of fruits: pears, grapes. This is a very well executed Belgian brew.

Jun 28, 2008 750 ml bottle from Wine Specialist. Nice mahogany color with a rapidly diminishing beige/tan head. Rich malty aroma with a little yeast. Near medium body with creamy carbonation. The flavor is sweet malt with some medium dark fruit. Finish is more sweet than dry, but there is a little bitter. I think it is really delicious.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottled. Pours dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malt, strong sweet belgian yeast, and a hint of bubble gum. Flavor is sweet, smooth malt, slightly buttery, and really reminds me of Westmalle Dubbel. Body had the perfect balance for a belgian.

Jun 23, 2008 750 ml botte. A cloudy dark brown beer with a medium sized and quite persistent beige head, leaving laces on the glass. The aroma is malty, with fruity (plum) and spicy notes and a touch of alcohol. The flavour is powerful, intense, malty, with notes of plums, chocolate and light alcohol. Quite sweet with hops not in evidence. However not sticky or filling. Medium to full body, lively carbonation, long finish with light bitterness. Very good.

Jun 19, 2008 Sampled from bomber: pours a hearty mahogany colour with a full tan head. Aroma is semi-sweet, nutty, with accents of oak, tropical fruit and wheat. Taste is comfortable, well carbonated, and smooth on the palate.
