Jul 8, 2009 2007 vintage.
Apperance: Dark brownish with a huge head. Plenty of carbonation.
Aroma: Ripe fruit, Dark caramel, Candi sugar, Hint of chocolate.
Flavor: Ripe fruit, Wheat, Caramel, Prunes, Sugar, Hint of lemon.
Palate: Rich and complex with an incredible drinkability. Lots of carbonation after 2 years in a bottle. Smooth small bubbles.
Ok, i’ve had this fresh a dozen times but after reading that Garret Oliver recommended putting this beer down for a few years i decided to do so. Very different to what it is like fresh
but the drinkability is still awesome with added complexity. Wow!

Bottle @home.
Beautifull brown but hazy colour with huge off-white head.
Malty and fruity nose and taste. Good carbonation, and slight heat from the high ABV.
Very delicious, but I cannot tell this from Carlsberg Semper Ardens Abbey Ale. Well this one is a bit more fruity, but maybe I should try them together?

Jul 5, 2009 Poured a beautiful dark liquid. The nose was set off with incredible touches of cherries, grapes, malt and a floral scent. Mouthfeel had a thick, rich and velvety texture. Taste was of cloves, banana peel, caramel and spices. A wonderful beer!

Jun 26, 2009 The pour produced a decent foam up of off white, rocky head that didn’t last that sat on top of extremely thick, dark brown muddy beer with a good amount of very fine silty sediment and slightly spotty lacing. The aroma was of alcohol , dirt, tobacco, some dark spice, smoke, maybe dates adn probably cherries. Very complex! Holy hell the aroma is great. The taste of spicy alcohol, dark fruit (plum / dates),caramel, sweet candy adn yeast make this a complex flavoured beer that seems quite balanced. Medium bodied with a velvety smooth feel despite the bite of alcohol. Has a soft, chewy sweet bready finish and a bit of alcohol as well. Leaves the mouth dry. The belch almost burnt my gut out. Drank the last half in under 4 minites. There was a bit of dustiness from the last couple sips due to the sediment chug. Obviously this is an excellent beer.
