Re-rate, Pre Tasting 08 PP Belgian Fest w/ my girlfriend Cyn, Bartzilla and Galtscat. Bottle from Galtscat. Pours dark brown with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and yeasty and nice. Taste is sweet robust syrupy, very nice killer palate. 29th Rating from 3rd Annual Woodshop tasting in Temple City, CA. 3/1/08. One hell of a day put on by Cquiroga, thanks for a killer day Chris. Also spent the day there with bikesanbeer, my girlfriend Cyn, wetherel, JohnC, DenverLogan, dirty_martini, jasparg, DrBil, IPAFiend, awaisanen and many others, this was one crazy day. Bottle from wetherel. Pours amber with an off whtie ring. Nose is mellower than grand reserva. Taste is sweet and complex, big and very nice. Great beer, like it about equally to grand reserva for different reasons.

75cl bottle, with a BIG THANKS to sunevdj! Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights; sizable tan head and a good coat of lacing. Aroma is dark fruits, earthy yeast, light vanilla, and spice. Flavor is a big WOW, dark fruits, apple, and a well dialed in spiciness tempered well against a light oaky presence. Palate is creamy and smooth, full mouthfeel and light carbonation. This is one nice creation; thanks again Sune for the chance to try this!

Re-rate 8/6/07, 75 cL at Delirium, shared with MiP and afatty. I feel lucky every time I get to taste this beer. Georgeous apearance with a big, creamy head. Aroma relatively faint, but as it warms it becomes a vinous melange of malts, dark fruit, booze and wood. Malty, sweetish flavor with notes of raisins and prunes, with awesome balance coming from lively carbo, mild hops and tannins. Just outstanding stuff. ---- The best thing I tasted @ Zythos. On tap. Beautiful black-brown with a creamy head. Choco-malty aroma. Mouthfeel is creamy but carbonated and dry. Much going on in the flavor: lots of dark, roasty malt, milk chocolate, hops and alcohol, a touch of sourness. Fascinating and delicious.

Bottle shared at Columbus Tasting 10 by the very generous moejuck. THANK YOU JOE for my 400th rating!! This was an excellent choice and an awesome beer! Very malty and earthy tasting. Wood. Vanilla. Brown sugar. All perfectly blended. YUM!

Thanks to fordest for sharing this one. I thought the aroma was a little lacking but the flavor was outstanding. Some sweetness from carmalized brown sugar, malts, and some burnt wood detected. Very smooth. I really enjoyed this one.

Bottle, thanks to puzzl. Murky light brown pour. Aroma is really malty, candy sugar, dark fruit, bubblegum. Flavor is also rich and sweet; brown sugar, candy sugar, some dark fruit / plum. The oak is barely noticable.

Bottle @ Borefts Beer Festival 2009. Dark brown colour, tan head. Aroma of toasted malts, fruits and yeast. Flavour or roasted malts, dry and dark fruits, coffee, yeast. Very nice.
