Dec 3, 2005 Bottle courtesy of and shared with Blankboy. Dark brown, thin tan head. Strong sweet aroma. Strong sweet taste. A little stale in the aftertaste. Wonderfully strong sweet Belgian Ale that had more in common with a recent Fuller’s Vintage than the classic strong Belgian Ale taste in my opinion. Just a little staleness kept it from achieving greatness.

Feb 11, 2007 [103-20061118] Tap @ Point Brugge (Pittsburgh, PA). Aroma is malted and yeasty, reminds me of sweet beef OXO boullion cubes. Cloudy, brown body with a fair-lasting creamy light brown head and nice lacing on the glass. Some raisin and figgy fruity flavour characteristics along with light celery, hops, and some chewy toffee in this OXO beefed-up beer, and the alcohol is obvious. Medium-full body. Seems exotic, would have preferred a smaller sample.

Nov 17, 2005 Bottle: Excellent aroma of fruit, toffee, light chocolate, and a hint of yeast. Pours a dark transparent amber with a small off-white head. Fruit, raisin, light chocolate, toffee, and yeast. Light alcohol flavor and moderate warmth come into play in the finish.

Sep 30, 2007 On draft at the brewery tap, March 2007. Deep, opaque brown with a decent tap head. Great aroma of dark fruit, toffee, marzipan and spice. The flavour inclined towards sweetness, with caramel, preserved fruit and almonds. This excellent beer had a warming alcohol finish.

Mar 22, 2003 Raising, syrupy nose with a touch of alcohol; ruddy-brown color and a low tight head. Heavy sweet malt body with tastes of brown sugar and a slightly spiced end. Full body and a thick syrupy texture. Good after dinner beer.

Sep 13, 2007 Bottle via trade with HogTownHarry. Hazy reddish-brown with a good sized off-white head. Very nice aroma - warm, rich and sweet, with notes of malt, dried fruit and dark sugar. Smooth, full mouthfeel. Big flavour of fruity malt, a bit of chocolate, some spicy yeast, and a slightly boozy finish. Lovely!
