Sep 12, 2008 Courtesy SoLan. Hazy copper-orange color, sparse almost white head. Apples, Belgian yeast, malts, moderate alcohol, candi sugar. Palate is a bit undercarbonated, but the taste is alcohol and candied malts, light hops, a nice spice and heat mix.

Jul 14, 2008 2006 bottle
Aroma: wow, musty, blackberry, powerful yeast, apfelstrudel-malty-sweet, some oak & coconut... pretty complex. Reminiscent of a barley wine. Seville orange & coriander.
Flavour: porridge & raisins, pretty bland for 9% (good though)... Good malty-hoppy bitterness & sweet, syrupy backbone. Somewhere between a barleywine & a Belgian ale?
Appearance: turbid, dirty deep orange with yellower rind & bubbly, irregular, marshy head. Grains at the bottom.
Palate: very good, oily & smooth like a great barleywine. Noble. Some fizzy and completely adequate co2 lurking in the creamy body.
Add. notes: slightly oxidized. The maturation process seems to have gone well.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle, 2007. Oh, smells very belgian. Taste is fruity with raisins, dried plums and some spiciness. Quite sweet, as expected. Finishes with some warming alcohol.
