May 22, 2008 2005 vintage tasted on 5/17/08, thanks to derkruk and crew! Once again a lovely dip into the Belgian world via Vinnie. Not as complex as others, the light fruit and slight dirt flavors blend together well overall in this one. A little hint of roast is hidden deep within as well. Good stuff, great aged.

May 21, 2008 Thanks again to Taverner for this bottle!!! This one doesn’t quite have the pillowy head of Perdition but the lacing almost makes up for its short-comings. 2-finger cashew-colored foam sits atop an almond brew. Aroma is a cross between a traditional Belgian Stong & Hefe. Banana, nutmeg, and a hint of clove are noticeable on the nose. Toasted malt, caramel, dark fruit, and belgian yeast again rear their head. The 9% is invisible, which of course, is awesome. Don’t let this one sneak up on you!!!

May 19, 2008 On tap at the brewpub in Santa Rosa. Dark chestnut with mahogany highlights and a thin, fine, lacey white head. Dark malt sweetness with some alcohol, "Belgian" fermentation characteristics, light banana, spice, and molasses. Flavor delivers more of the same along with some roasted smokiness, malt sweetness, and alcohol. The body is warm with alcohol that is still well-balanced despite being huge.

May 12, 2008 Updated: Jul 5, 2008Bottle, batch #1 shared by beastiefan2k. Brown / amber clearish pour. Aroma is sugar malt, ripe fruit. The fruit is pretty nice in the flavor also, but overall the beer is too sweet and I didn’t notice any other complimenting flavors. Re-rate, June 2008, draft at the brewpub. Light brown / amber pour. Aroma is dark fruit, sweet malt, candy sugar, brown sugar. Flavor is the same with some alcohol and a little toasted malt presence.

May 12, 2008 Bottle Batch 1 at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering: Copper pour with a fizzy tan head. Nose is slightly oxidized. Old/over ripened fruits in the aroma.The flavor has some of those over ripened dark fruits, along with some spearmint character. Some residual spices are evident into the finish. I didn’t pick up much from this one; I want to revisit it for sure.
