Sep 17, 2007 Bottle at LCRBM3. Wow, that’s really disappointing. Just too much butter. This is a pretty nasty beer.

Bottle at LCRBM3. Raw and unbalanced. Very fruity, plenty of alcohol. Nothing special at all.

Sep 10, 2007 3rd LCRBM. Malty, slightly yeasty aroma with apple and butter. Melon in the flavor. Wood, flowery and earthy hops. Just a bit thin (because of age?) and therefore somewhat alcoholic. Citrus and red berries in the aftertaste. Still an enjoyable beer.

Sep 10, 2007 Bottle@LCRBM. Loads of butter and cookie dough in the aroma. Cloudy, amber color, off-white head, fair lace. Strange flavors with smoke, honey and lots of butter. Sticky mouthfeel. Looking at some of the other scores I guess it’s just over the top already.

Aug 24, 2007 Bright copper in colour, lingering beige coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is of light pepper, some yeast, apples, caramel sweetness and some light alcohol. The flavour is lightly malty with some caramel, yeasty, fruity, floral hops, light sweetness and spices. A little watery and thin in the mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes with some caramel spice, yeast although a bit watery. This is reaching the point where its not going to get any better I believe.

Aug 16, 2007 22 oz bottle consumed August 2007. I couldn’t of been more happier when I got this beer because the excitement of tasting such a rare ale is a true treat. I let the bottle sit for over two weeks just to make sure the first glass I poured wouldn’t have any floating sediment, and it didn’t. Crystal clear in terms of clarity but the color was medium mahogany topped with a very fine layer of heading. Amazing how the nose is still a strong profile of malt, caramel, cigar tobacco, raisins and other dried out fruits. I keep inhaling deep smells from my glass to dwell on this smell I will probably never get to relive. I’m also surprised to be greeted with a pleasant level of carbonation but as expected it’s not as fresh as when it was first bottled—so I can imagine. The flavor still holds a chewy and sweet malt flavor but will also allow some cigar tobacco and prune juice flavors come through. No sign of yeast to be found, but I must say that for a Belgian style ale this truly aged very well compared to others I’ve come across.
