Sep 12, 2006 Appears a murky, copper toned amber with a 1 finger off white head that slowly fades out into a gentle collar. Mild speckles of lacing are left around the goblet.
Smell is of a raisin & plum reduction infused with light brown sugar, yeasty dough, and a dash of cooked banana, and light dusting of cocoa & powderized vanilla. Mmmhmmm...sure do love that Rochefort yeast. It’s the shizle.
Taste is of the same great aromas, only better. The complex flavors materialize into a well blended Belgian Ale. Perhaps not as complex as Rochefort itself but if Scotty Morrison could bottle these again and us uber-beer-geeks could sit on them for a while, I’m sure it would ripen beautifully.
Mouthfeel is sugary, yeasty, mildly spicy, and semi-dry.

Jan 10, 2006 A generous regular shaped dark beige head covers the dark brown body. Diacetyl comes heavy in the nose leaving most other flavours secondary, yet a sweet touch of white chocolate fights a friendly battle with a considerable roasty fiend all amidst nutty, tobacco and strongly fruity flavours (berries, figs like). Understated yeastiness provides a few minor spice hints and soft, rounded banana esters. Manages to develop a certain dryness in mouth which brings the fruitiness to a further level while the palate is round and well carbonated, with an unfortunate buttery oiliness imparted.

Nov 30, 2005 Huge, fruity butterscotch diacetyl aroma is overwhelming. Opaque orange-tan coloured body with low, fine bubbled, tan head that recedes to a lasting cover with good lacing. Fruity, caramel, butterscotch flavour is saturated with diacetyl. Some solventy phenols and acidity emege as it warms. Medium body with moderate to lively, pointy carbonation. Perhaps this is why they stopped bottling. Bottle (trade, May-05) sampled at DenverLogan’s pre-GABF party 2005. Thanks, hopdog!
