Jan 23, 2004 Updated: Jan 26, 20042003 Vintage, 750mL bottle, served in a La Chouffe Tulip at aroudn 50ºF. Tawny color, pellucid with a creamy tan head. Light musky hops, sweet caramel with a touch of cinnamon & clove. Flavor has a touch of alcohol and the traditional belgian flavors to satiate the likes of me. Finishes with a medium body and ends rather briefly. I thought this was a very good winter Belgian and would like to be able to get it in town here in Boise.

May 14, 2004 I guess I’m a bit out on a limb here, but I just don’t find this too special. The whole thing is too dominated by treacle toffee and sweet molasses for my taste. Ended up with a massive head, however carefully I poured it. At first glance it appeared deep chocolate brown but, holding the glass up to the light, the underlying rich cherry colour was apparent. The aroma is vaguely herbal and spicy, but principally molasses and candy sugar. More of the same in the flavour. Treacle toffee. Very rich but, although there is enough acidity to prevent it from being too cloying it is still rather syrupy in texture for me. Quite nice, but nothing to rave about as far as I’m concerned. The high alcohol level is not intrusive. Anyone else find those cute gnomes intensely irritating by the way? Bottled (750ml), from beersofeurope.co.uk

Nov 9, 2004 My first "Christmas" beer of the season, and a damn fine one at that. Pours great turbid dark brown with a medium, off-white head. Aroma of malt, barnyard, similar to Westy 12. Tastes malty, with great complexity and balance, and a slightly dry finish. I detected spices, florals, citrus, and dark fruits in the taste. A world class beer.
