2003 Vintage; Tasted December 6, 2004; Rating #1000 Dark reddish/black color with a medium head. Bready aroma with a hint of fruit, possibly cherry. Solid malt body with a touch of winter spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, maybe ginger). A little dash of herbs are there too, but not to the extent as, say Rochefort 10. The alcohol is not particularly well hidden. Ralph says: "It tastes like burning!" Still, a damn fine brew and a good one to celebrate 1000 with!

Jul 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark amber with a big beige head. Dark fruits, spices, candy and malts in the aroma. Flavour is pretty complex with many spicy notes. Creamy mouthfeel. A really good beer indeed.

Jun 10, 2008 750ml bottle. 2007 edition. Dark brown wiht a nice layer of foam maintained by my Chimay glass. Warm spice and malt aroma, Dubble-like. Hard to taste 10% ABV but you can feel it after half a bottle. You can taste the dark candy-sugar, dark malt and a caramel-molasses touch. Nice spice residue on the tongue.

Jun 2, 2008 Bottle from Party Source. Poured reddish brown color with an average frothy head that lasted with good lacing. Complex dark fruit and yeasty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium fruity sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of long duration with a small alcohol bite. This is a good beer
