Jan 7, 2008 Aroma: Malty sweet (moderately), honey, raisiny, vinegar, and, uh, brussel sprouts. Taste: raisins mix in w/ sweetness, but are kept in check by a slight sourness. Fairly good, but not all that inviting.

does not count  Jan 5, 2008 Great beer. Tastes much like the Chimay’s, but substantially less expensive. Good color, aroma, head and finish. I really like this beer....it also packs a pretty good punch!

Jan 5, 2008 Great belgian strong. Tastes more alcoholic than it really is. Doesnt finish as nicely as the description suggests.

Jan 1, 2008 Poured an orange tinted light brown with a tall foamy tan head. There was a sweet aroma with a undertone of hops. The taste was creamy with a little citrus flavor followed by a mild sweetness of caramel. There was a nice hoppy bitter finish, but not to overpowering. There was alot of mingled flavors in this beer, which to me makes it good when its hard to put a finger on the various flavors. The alcohol was hidden pretty well.

Jan 1, 2008 Bottle, 75cl corked. (RBNAG 07) Pours a hazy, orange-brown body, with a dense, beige head. Sweetish, roasted, slightly oxidized aroma and flavor. A bit too oxidized flavor I think. Full-bodied, slightly sourish in the mouth, and quite sticky. A nice beer, but considering it being quite fresh, it shouldn’t taste as oxidized as a twenty year old beer. (071103)

Jan 1, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours a chestnut brown body with a towering khaki colored head. Measures at least 3 1/2 fingers thick with incredible retention and lacing. Nose of cherry pie, caramel candy, raisins, plums, candied sugars, funky yeasts and tropical fruity esters. Also maybe some brown sugar at the very end of the aroma. Flavor is semi-sweet chocolate, raisins, prunes, plums, candied sugars and yeast. Back end of the sip produces some more fruity esters and a drying bitterness. Medium bodied, slightly sticky but far from cloying. Finish is lengthy, chocolate, cherries, caramel and tropical fruits carry on to the end. When they say the finish dries out, they aren’t kidding. Not a favorite of mine, but this is a good beer.

Dec 31, 2007 Thick head, dark beer, very sweet smell or dark chocolate and Cherries. This was given to me from a friend for New Years 2007/2008. Taste is Caramel and dark chocolate. Alcohol is present but not in a bad way. My Wife hated it which automatically makes it a good tasting beer. Delicious!

Muddy brown color, small beige head. Chocolaty and a bit fruity, propably some notes of oxidation. First impression: anise ... then some licorice, caramel backed with malts. Short finish, alcohol is very well hidden. Very interesting, something similar to Gouden Carolus Christmas. Fabulously balanced.
