Oct 1, 2008 Rich burgundy color under a billowy, buff head. Warm alcohol nose, full of spice and dark berries, acrid and phenolic, sweet caramel. Mild toffee sweetness, smooth but full acidity, menthol and alcohol strong in the finish with an aftertaste of chocolate and licorice. Creamy, big and fluffy.
Decadent and a bit hot—I wonder if those phenols will fade.
33 cl bottle, best before 30 July 2013.

Sep 29, 2008 Spicy aroma, the taste is fruit and caramel, very soft and complex. The little brother of rochefort 10 is lighter and easier but still not boring by any means. Too bad it is too expensive here to have on a regular basis as a session companion...

Sep 28, 2008 Updated: Sep 30, 2008Stunning deep amber sedimented pour. Intense caramel start leading on to honey/ caramel/spicy middle and alcoholic and spiced finish. Lovely.

Sep 27, 2008 [Bottle] Gusher. Pours a murky brown with lots of floaties and a huge beige head. Aroma is very nice. Figs, raisins, caramel, and banana are some of the more prominent aromas. Thinner mouthfeel than its big brother, and flavor is a little lighter. Still a touch of alcohol in there. Plenty of dark fruits in the flavor, raisins, maybe some spices, and a nice earthiness. Lovin it.
