Jul 6, 2009 Thanks to kiefdog for bringing this to a tasting. 05 version.
A: Pours a nice dark brown with a small tight off white head. Okay retention with light spotty lace.
S: Wonderful malty aromas. Tons of caramel and brown sugar. Mild spices blend well into rich dark fruit.
T: Flavor of rich sweet malts, chocolate, and spice. Dark fruit, oak, and a touch of sour on the back end. Lots of flavor going on here.
M: On the fuller side of medium. Nice mild carbonation, with a light sour finish.

Jul 3, 2009 Many thanks to mreusch for this 2006 bottle! Pours a dark cloudy brown, with frothy light tan head. good lacing, sticks to the glass. Brown sugar, oak, berries, apple, and plum in the nose. Flavors of dried dark fruits, pepper, toffee, sweet malt, raisins, chocolate plum, fig, brown sugar, clove, cherry, wood, and some slight sourness. Excellent beer, very complex, some warming alcohol heat coming through. A must try if you can get your hands on it. Thanks again mreusch!

Jul 3, 2009 Bottled at Cafe Frape in Mestreech. COlor is hazy dark brown, huge tick stiff head, proper lacing. Nose is berries and wood. Flavour is dominated by soft buttery malts. The oak aging gives it a twist. Very nice soft soothing palate. I think it is one of my top 5 beers.
