Nov 13, 2005 Toasted grain, yeast and syrup nose. Hazy brown-rust color, foamy lathery head. Huge offee malt with a bit of raisin and earthy, woody undertones. Heavy with a quick dry coffee tinge toward the end. The candy sugar sweetness comes through in the middle as the glass warms. Too sweet really, but quite enjoyable overall.

Oct 11, 2005 This poured a murky brown color. The aroma was slightly spicy with some apples and oranges present. The flavor was very citrusy and spicy with a huge dose of orange peels and caramel. The alcohol is present but not overwhelming at all. A good warming belgian.

Oct 9, 2005 11.2 oz bottle via trade with alanC - Thanks Alan! - Pours a murky reddish brown in the tulip with a short tan head that looks like sludge but does lace pretty well. Aroma is yeast, raisins, some caramel, and apples. Flavor is yeast, alcohol, raisins, caramel. Amazingly sweet. Palate is medium bodied and not very carbonated. Some of the alcohol warmth can be found after each sip but it is well hid for 12%. Seems a lot more like wine than beer though. A very interesting nightcap though.

Aug 31, 2005 11.2 oz bottle, in Chimay goblet. Pours a beautiful ruby red with a fluffy off white head that settles quickly to a creamy film. Aroma is strong and sweet, with a belgian yeast smell along with alcohol. Notes of apple cider, cinnamon spice, and sweet malt. Flavor is extremely malty, almost caramel like. Belgian spices, very port like in the finish with alot of alcohol warmth, they’re not kidding about the 12%. Very minimal if any hop bitterness. This one coates the mouth thoroughly yet isn’t overly cloying. This is a very big beer with a very vinous complexity to it. As it warmed, alcohol and spices become more predominant. Very good and highly recommended.
