Aug 23, 2009 22oz bottle thanks to Eric. Did an 03 thru 08 vertical. Amber in color with a small off white head. Aroma of caramel, dark fruit and a very light hop aroma. The taste is mostly sweet malt with some spicy sourness mixed in too, there is some oxidization that drags this down though. Fullish body and a dry finish. Decent but probably past its peak, can’t really see this one making it to 12/12/12.

Jul 13, 2009 Updated: Jul 15, 2009Bottle from jazz88 near the entrance of the 09 Grand Tasting. Nose is dark malt, oxidization, light spice. Flavor is very like a dubbel, though I missed the hops and pepper - not a surprise after 6 years. I must say, there might be more interest in the grand vertical if every edition aged this well.

Jun 23, 2009 Bottle. Low fluffy white and quickly disappearing head. Clear dark brown body. Vineous prune fruity spicy aroma with a bit of alcohol. Fruity alcohol malt flavor. A bit too much alcohol in fact. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste.

[Bottle #5 in the Kolding Blindtasting, 20th June 2009]
Pours deep, clear chestnut with a small, creamy beige head. Aroma is powerful, but rather simple. Fat caramel, yeast, biscuity malts, strawberries and nuts. But mostly just fat caramel. Lowish carbonation, very nice creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is still surprisingly dry and hoppy, caramel, yeast. Long, lingering dry finish with a dose of dark chocolate and roasted malts.
