Aug 11, 2007 Thanks to Ramenen. 2004 Bottle: A new experience. Extremely complex somewhere between, beer, wine, brandy and cognac. At only 3 years (two less than the recommended waiting time) it was strong herbal, spicey and potent.

Aug 11, 2007 Vintage 2004. I really think you need to wait at least five years as recommended. Very different from anything I had tasted yet, so it makes it very hard for me to rate. Very low carbonation and head, but pours into a rich, beautiful amber colour. Very strong and acidic, think it was still too young. Alcohol very present.

Aug 5, 2007 2005 bottle. Pours a deep amber to light brown with an ample off-white head. Aroma is sweet with hints of dates and spices. Taste is also sweet and malty with more dark, tarry fruit, light smoke. The sweetness is balanced mainly by alcohol. Dryer palate and finish than I expected.

Aug 5, 2007 2006 EDITION: Strong and boozy bite hits the nose. Grape wine, thick molasses, plums, dates, and notes of sour whiskey. Spicy alcoholic taste dominates. I detect some ripe purple grapes and brown sugar. However, I’m afraid, a bit lost in the sea of alcohol. A potent brew for sure. No wonder they want you to sit on it for a decade! Still a world class beer, even though a bit hard to drink.

Aug 1, 2007 2005 bottle - Pours a hazy deep amber color with a big 3 finger thick off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is toasted malt, brown sugar, and esters. Flavor is sweet malt and fruit (raisins, apple). Medium to full body. The esters linger on the palate. Alcohol is slightly noticeable. A good beer.

Jul 31, 2007 Vintage 2005. Sirupy, nearly no head, brown colour. Malty start, getting more and more dry towards the finish. Hints of roasted malt, raisins, wild berries and prunes.

Jul 23, 2007 Vintage 2005. Brown ale with a tan head; aroma is apples and berries; prune, malt, caramel sweet flavor; definite alcohol warmth; finish fruity and slightly malty. Good ale, but a bit strong for my taste.

The flavor was alcohol, very sweet, tart, candy-like, and fermented grape. The palate was medium/thick bodied. The finish was warm.
