Jun 8, 2004 The old version. The owner of Delirium Café estimated the bottle to be from the mid seventies. I was very surprised that the beer was totally clear. Of course it was poured carefully, but I still find it impressive. Deep reddish brown coloured. The aroma and flavour are mature without too many raisins or prunes present. Very fruity, complex and very well balanced.

Jul 23, 2002 Very hazy amber with medium tan head slowly fading to light lacing, and dappled dishwater suds like topping. Intruguing and highly complex aroma. Starts kinda lambic sour and barnyard yeast but then turns to liquorice, dried fruits (bananas and raisins) pine resin, honey and alcohol and a very faint hint of epoxy glue. Medium body. Big, and I mean BIG fruity nectar honey, plus burnt sugar/caramel and some smoked flavours. Some bitter and alcohol kick in some where in the middle and end.
A pity the flavour is so one dimensional otherwise it would be a really great beer. Can’t wait to try the Christmas de Cuvée de Hermitage.

Aug 6, 2002 this is the old version of the Cuvée de l’Ermitage (8.5% instead of 7.5%) as it was brewed originaly by Union (taken over by Maes in 1978). This version was even better as the actual, showing more character.

Dec 30, 2005 Bottled (most likely in the 70s). Clear red-brown color, no head. Aroma of some caramel malt, heavy prune and raisin, some walnut, bit dusty. Slight sour taste, malty, still a bit sweet, bit roasted, dry. Very complex, i did not expect this to be drinkable actually.
