Jul 11, 2007 Columbia, SC - Green’s Discount Beverages - 750 ml bottle - cellared in the store. Nice dark chestnut pour with a soft, silky khaki head. Warm, enticing liquor-like aroma. Hints of bourbon and brandy - whiff of molasses. Flavor is sweet and full-bodied. Pick up hints of toffee, brandy, molasses, caramel - it’s all good. Rich, luxuriant mouthfeel. Alchohol hidden well. Excellent Belgian - probably passed this one by several times because I thought it and the Grand Cru were the same - glad I investigated!

Sep 7, 2005 Dark brown with a small, tight head. Aroma was bready with a hint of banana. Fruity taste, very sweet, with coffee notes and just a touch of dryness. I found there was just a bit too much frothy carbonation in the mouthfeel. Otherwise a delightful strong ale.

Jan 25, 2004 Bottle conditioned. Deep copper bronze, moderate thin white head and good condition. Sweet aromas of chocolate, malt and caramel with some oakiness noticable. Good barley wine notes in the mouth with toffee, caramel, silky chocolate and a slight fruitiness. Carbonation is a little over assertive. Finish is quite short and malty sweet.

Sep 28, 2004 Dirty brown with a hint of a prettier colour like orange or red. The bottle had been knocked over in the past 2 days and shaken a bit. Fair starting head. Aroma of alcohol with musty fruit beneath. Refreshing for the high alcohol content. Must be drunk at warmer termperatures. Very nice palate and refined mild flavour. No overwhelming flavours. A nice balance of fruit, malt and light spice. A noble drink.
