Jul 29, 2009 Pours amber with a white large head. Smells of dark fruit, some sweet malt, some spice. Tastes full bodied with a nice fruity finish.

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.

Jul 27, 2006 12 oz thanks to frumpty at HWOH. Pours a medium to light amber , mostly hazy with a nice off white head. Aroma is initially of ginger and other herbal and earthy spices, phenols and yeasty aromas with some mild fruity esters. Light vanilla and clove phenols in there as well. Candy sugar flavor with a hint of alcohol in the end. Moslty light dulll earthy yeast and lightly bready. For being so old, it still has a pretty decent body and oxidation hasnt quite set in yet. Very nice belgian strong.

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.

Nov 2, 2008 12-oz. Thanks, SuzyGreenberg! This must be a couple years old by now. Fully hazy medium golden amber. A big loose sudsy tan head. Enormous spicy nose, dense earthy finish to it. Crisp but earthy mid-palate; strange juxtaposition of characteristics. Gotta wonder how they pulled that off. Very tasty and satisfying for sure though. Leafy, earthy finish.

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.

Aug 29, 2008 Aww yeah. Slander brought one of these bad boys to a tasting. A year 2001 bottle! Nice, nice. Hella old tasting though. Very sherry aroma, dusty and old but no cardboard. Very nice there. Damp towel flavor, cardboard and musk. Ethyl alcohol unsettles the stomach. Very strong still. Thanks, Steve!!
