Mar 12, 2009 Bottle at Chaucer’s Pub, in London ON- Deep hazed amber/brown with a frothy and long lived white cap. Nice lace here, lots of head retention. Nose of candied fruit, yeast, sherry wine, dates, some oak. Tastes fruity sweet matched with a nice hop balance. Raisins, plum, a bit yeasty, toffee, some vanilla and floral spiciness. Very creamy with a lovely spicy and fruity aftertaste, that lingers for ages. Top notch stuff.

Mar 11, 2009 PPWD Show.
This was the 2008 Vintage. I would love to try one a bit older. Probably the best beer that I tried at the show. Again a little bit too cold but was able to warm in hand. Excellent beer and this as well I would like to try blind against Chimay Blue one of my favorites. Sweet dark dried fruits, some chocolate, hint of coffee and quite dry. Excellent beer.

Mar 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a rich gold with a decent white head. Nose is fruity with some honey and yeast. Flavors really bready and at times tart. Nice fruit flavors too. Mouth is very chewy and carbonated. No complaints here.

Mar 4, 2009 Draft @ Capone’s: Poured a dark butter toffee color with not much head. The aroma was sweet, apple cider and bubble gum. The flavor was dark fruits, dark sugar, sweet malts and well balanced with yeast. Overall, an excellent beer

Mar 1, 2009 Easily one of my favorites. Incredible dark caramel color with a medium head. Taste just sits on the tongue with a smooth finish. High alcohol content but does not take away from the fruitiness of the beer. Highly suggest. On tap at the Publick House, Boston

Feb 27, 2009 2006 vintage. The main note in the smell is apples and a hint of clove, the taste is unbelievably smooth and tastes like powdery apple goodness. Perfect sweetness, can’t taste the alcohol and I wonder why, the taste is suprisingly subtle. The mouthfeel is exquisite. Classy fucking beer.

Feb 26, 2009 Buona questa Gouden Carolus cazzi e mazzi, sto ruttando come se avessi magnato la pizza e invece ho magnato i tortellini; ho pensato di berla siccome oggi è il mio compleanno. Avrei moltissime cose da dire sull’aroma e sul sapore e sull’aspetto (un pochino deludente - unica cosa - per la scarsa schiuma; ma il colore splendido), ma ho un sonno terrificante.

Feb 25, 2009 75cl, 2008 vintage bottle split with LarryLSB at Brasserie Beck. Dark caramel brow color with a lasting beige head of fine bubbles. Vinous, yeasty, and fruity aroma with dates and cherry. The flavor is sweet, yet well balanced, with complex yeast, brown sugar, and dried fruit flavors of dates and prune. Medium-full is body with lively carbonation that lets it glide over your tongue. This was outstanding with chocolate mousse for dessert. Wonderful on its own, but the pairing was truly sublime. I was looking forward to this, and it more than delivered.
