Jul 4, 2006 At the Heavyweight Open House. Thanks, FrumptyDumpty! A pleasant change from the original Lunacy. This was sweet and fruity, yet well-spiced. Vanilla is a predominant flavor, as is honey. I really found this one delicious.

Jul 3, 2006 Many thanks to FrumptyDumpty for bringing a bunch of this to the HW Open House - probably my most anticipated beer of the day - cloudy, but actually quite clear considering its age - musty/cobweb aroma with light fruity esters and a decent dose of vanilla - kind of honey sweet with loads of vanilla from the aroma, giving it a sort of cake-like flavor (live some taste in Orval) - God bless beautiful mistakes like these.

Jul 2, 2006 Poured a hazy amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of green apple, cinnamon, caramel malts, toffee, and some honey as well. Taste was sweet, with more honey, a tart citrus, dry yeast, and a slightly alcoholic finish.

May 24, 2004 Murky orange color with a head that dissapeared as soon as you pour it. Tastes stronger than the 9.5% in the description. Aroma is dusty aged oranges. Taste is a wonderful (almost barkeywine) sweet ale. This is fantastic. Thanks Tom.

Apr 15, 2004 Updated: Jul 1, 2006(Brewed June 2000) Had to really work to get a head on this beer. Remained thin with almost no carbonation. Great aroma of apricots, grapes (wine) and spices. Tried this again 2 years latter and there was a BIG vanilla aroma to the brew this time. Color is a slightly cloudy dark orange. Wow, good $hit. Alcohol kicks you in the mouth. Seems like more than 9.5%. Burns and warms as it goes down. Flavor is a little weak but what is there is good. More fruit and spices. The alcohol hides some of the flavor though. Finish is dry and slightly bitter but leaves a great sensation in the mouth. Would love to try this on draft to see if the carbonation is still present. Still, a great belgian that they should make all of the time.

Mar 6, 2004 Updated: Mar 12, 2004This is a great Belgian Strong Ale. Had this one at Andy's Pub in NJ, which I thought was the only place that had it. Now that I know otherwise I'll have to horde this stuff for myself if I could find it. Hoppy spicy, malty and wine flavors. Finishes crisp, clean, and smooth.

Feb 12, 2004 just bought the variety pack 1/04 and were 4 of these. definitely a change from the more lemony taste of the lunacy. reminds me of binchiose noel or victory v12, a little syrupy with an appropriate alcohol taste. wonderful poundcake like flavor in there. recommended highly if you can find some!
