Nov 2, 2008 Updated: Mar 10, 2009Bottle from Hopduvel. Pours dark brown and thick as oil with a small brown head. Kandi sugar nose makes me anticipate a first sip eagerly. Aroma’s are woods, earthy, oily, dark fruits, sweet and roasted licorice. Very complex but very good. Alcohol warming lingers for a while. To be drunk slowly.

Nov 1, 2008 Bottle. Deep sweetness. Caramel and toffee with fig notes, pears, and light chocolate. Some alcohol presence. Cloudy mahogany with a patchy off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Piercing sweetness with good balance. Nice caramel finish, a bit of alcohol and dark fruits. Thin but silky palate. Alcohol shows up more with warmth.

Nov 1, 2008 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a clear brown/copper colour with a normal size head and low carbonation.
Smell is spicy, fruity, fresh and also has some traces of malts there.
Also vaguely some coffee and caramel.
Taste is of burnt malts, chocolate, caramel and coffe.
Perfectly balanced and a great strong ale.

Oct 25, 2008 2006 vintage
Pours dark brown with ruby edges. One finger tan head leaves a thin collar with little lacing. Raisin, fig, anise, and tobacco on the nose, with other scents that are hard to pinpoint. Flavor is a bit fruitier, but is nicely balanced with the spice and earth notes. Big bubbled carbonation leaves the finish a bit too dry, but it is quite drinkable.

Oct 25, 2008 A red dark amber to brown ale with a thick light moka head. A nice licorice malt with light fruity esters, alcohol warmth. In mouth, licorice predominates with light white sugar, plums and dark fruits, a bit lighter than expected but overall, a nice experience. Enjoyed in bottle at Kulminator, Nov. 2006, with Joris and Carlo.
