Dec 10, 2007 Sampled from a 750 ml corked brown bottle this beer poured a caramel-brass color with a huge light tan head. The aroma was a fabulous blend of sweet malts, caramel and ripe fruits. The flavor was a wonderful blend of sweet and tangy malts with noted caramel and elements of cherry and pear. The mouthfeel was a bit spritzy for such a heavy beer.

Dec 5, 2007 750 mL, newer label. Poured a deep dark caramel color with a thick billowy white head. Nice grainy sweet character on the aroma, with a light Belgian yeasty component in the background. Sweet and spicy malt taste, the alcohol well-integrated. Lightly peppery on the finish. Well-done, but lacked the complexity I expected from such a highly rated abt.

Nov 3, 2007 Bottle, courtesy Duff, at HogTown Harry tasting, September 2007. Hazy copper colour with fluffy white head. Fruity and yeasty aroma. Flavour is massively fruity - juicy, jammy and figgy. Also a touch of liquorice I thought. Tasty but maybe a bit too sweet for my palate. I didn’t find it as sickly as the others though. No noticeable alcohol burn. Nonetheless, I was still slightly disappointed if only because I had very high expectations that weren’t quite met. Almost but not quite.

Oct 30, 2007 750ml bottle, 2003 vintage. Rich, fruity aroma, full of complexity, with red grape, plum, raisin, richly toffeeish and very lightly chocolatey sweetness, a depth of roasty, darkly sugary malts, some faint berry and floral touches. Dark red-brown color, the tan head is slight and fading. Flavor profile is richly malty, sweet and estery, with notes of milky chocolate, date, fig, carob, plum and red grape. Very nice interplay. Smooth, decadent mouthfeel, low in effervescence with a lusciously full body. Alcohol presence is surprisingly minimized. Really good, came together quite nicely after 4 years in the cellar.
