2004 vintage, Maudite glass. The pour reveals a cloudy dark ruby color with a thin tan head that diminishes to a small ring. As I stick my nose in the glass I feel joy, it feels that I知 sniffing a potent liquor or a good port wine. I can already tell that I知 going to love this beer. The second time I stick my nose in I知 more prepared to be amazed, I can concentrate on the different elements, there is chocolate, raspberries and caramel, the alcohol is barely noticeable. A third sniff reveals something close to plums or grapes. Ok, enough chit-chat, let痴 taste this marvel ! Wow, I知 astonished, bewildered, amazed, in love. The flavor has an extremely balanced and harmonious blend of chocolate, caramel and raspberries. Again I知 reminded of grapes, but now it痴 more like candied grapes. And again the alcohol is barely noticeable. The body is full with a very liquorous and oily texture while the carbonation is low. This is an extremely well made beer, a highly amazing liquid dessert. Merci Martin!

Sep 2, 2008 Thanks to bgramer for this 2007 bottle. An aggressive pour into my St. Bernardus glass leaves me with a dark ruby brown beer that leaves a quarter inch head that fades immediately. Aroma is of raspberries, chocolate, vanilla, marshmallow creme, caramel and alcohol. Taste is chocolate, raspberry, marshmallow creme/rich caramel, and alcohol. I’m not a big fan of the marshmallow creme flavor but I appreciate this beer for what it is. Huge syrupy body that has a slight tingling carbonation. This just keeps getting better and better the more it warms. More alcohol is coming out but it blends well with the flavors and the aforementioned creme flavor is starting to meld with other flavors better.

Aug 25, 2008 2004 bottle. Pours very dark brown with a small head. Aroma of chocolate, raspberry and something I can’t put my finger on. Taste is the same with some oak, vanilla, alchohol and caramel. Very, very smooth. Could only handle a little bit though. Thanks Grim!!!!

Aug 24, 2008 Courtesy JMFG. The aroma of this gem is stunning, almost beyond comprehension. Chocolate, raspberry, malted milk and nougat all add to the mastery. The flavor is almost overwhelming. The chocolate and raspberry is strong. Stunning.
