May 25, 2009 My bottle (11.2oz) shared with garthicus. 2006 (or so) vintage. Pours a cloudy dark amber with lots of floaties in the bottom and an average size diminishing off-white head. Nice fruity aroma along with brown sugar, caramel malt, butterscotch, alcohol and dark fruit. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, candi sugar and dark fruit along with yeast, some spices and alcohol. Medium bodied. Much better then I expected, very, very good!

May 14, 2009 2006 Bottle, thanks to Blankboy. Appearance: Dark cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma: Brandy, caramel, dark fruit, brown sugar and alcohol. Flavour: Wow - alcohol, spice, yeast, toffee, lots and lots of dark fruit, so much booze though! Wow, even after 3 years. Nice but wow; strong.

May 10, 2009 A dark, muddy, golden brown beer with a monstrous khaki head that holds well considering the high ABV. The aroma is pretty complex with yeast, plums, banana, lactose, spices, and ash. The flavor is sweet dark fruits with sugar and spice and a burnt finish. Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. An enjoyable beer.

Apr 28, 2009 Deep amber/copper with thin head. Big malty, raisiny nose; toffee and caramel. Syrupy and full on the tongue, sweet with alcohol presence, although finish is not so cloying. It’s big brew, rich and malty with hop bitterness to help maintain balance.

Apr 17, 2009 Murky brown, tall white head. Nutty, dusty, leathery, seductive aroma that hits me very nicely. Hot up front, almost obliterates the beer. I started to get some nuances and -pow-. But there’s ripe cherry, more leather and cinnamon. Definitely puts the strong in Belgian Strong.

Apr 16, 2009 Bottle.. several years old. Poured shimmery copper with nothing going on for head or lacing. The aroma was powerful with rich fruity notes, brandy, and brown sugar accented by nutmeg and other spices I couldn’t place.. warm from the alcohol presence.. really enjoyed it! The flavor was just as good with green raisins and brown sugar providing the sweetness.. pineapple, nutmeg, cinnamon, and brandy surrounded and were laced throughout.. finished warm and sticky. Heavier-bodied with no carbonation evident on the palate, which made it quite slick.. the spices were well-placed and complementary to the sweetness. Really, really tasty.
